In this case u can’t use the distributive property. U just multiple whats in the parenthesis (39•5)=195 and that’s ur answer.
Let’s say if the problem said 5(2+1) u can’t use the distributive property bc u have to do what’s in the parentheses first. 5(3)=15
But If u had a problem like 2(4x+6) then u can use the distributive property. This is bc u can’t add 4x+6 bc they aren’t like terms. So u multiple the 2 by 4x which is 8x and the 2 by 6 which is 12 then ur answer would be : 8x+12
You should ask your parent/guardian
or teacher if needed! Merry Christmas!
1/2 and 10/20
to get 1/2 you have to divide 5/10 by 5:
5 / 5 1
----- = -----
10 / 5 2
to get 10/20 you have to multiply 5/10 by 2:
5 * 2 10
----- = ----
10 * 2 20
Hope it helps! =)
