Question

6. Use the Distributive Property to write an
expression equivalent to 5 X (3 + 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3+4)

5x7=35

Answer 2

According to the Distributive Property, Multiplication distributes over addition:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
(a + b)c = ac + bc

Therefore, the equivalent expression of 5 (3 + 4) is:

5 (3 + 4)= (5*3) + (5*4) = 35

Or

(3 + 4) 5 = (3*5) + (4*5) = 35
