Answer 1

The expressions equivalent to -0.5(1.7+1.7) are -0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)

and 2(-0.5(1.7))

Distributive law of expansion

Given the expression below;

-0.5 (1.7 + 1.7)

According to the distributive law;

A(B+C) = AB + AC

Expand

-0.5(1.7) + (-0.5)(1.7)

-0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)

2(-0.5(1.7))

Hence the expressions equivalent to -0.5(1.7+1.7) are -0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)

and 2(-0.5(1.7))
