What is multiplicative distribution Law ?

The Distributive Property is an algebraic property that is used to multiply a single value and two or more values within a set of parenthesis. The distributive Property States that when a factor is multiplied by the sum/addition of two terms, it is essential to multiply each of the two numbers by the factor, and finally perform the addition operation. This property can be stated symbolically as:

A ( B+ C) = AB + AC

Where A, B and C are three different values.

Based on the given conditions,

x × (1 + 2) = 294

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law,

x + 2x = 294

Combine like terms

3x = 294

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

x = 294/3

Cross out the common factor

x = 98

get the result is 98

Hence , 98 Adults tickets  were sold.
