Question

Use the distributive property to write an expression equivalent to 5 Times (3+4)

Answer 1

The distributive property states:

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

Using that we get:

$5\times (3+4)\\5(3+4) \\5(3) + 5(4)\\15 + 20\\35$

You could also do it like:
$5(3+4)\\5(7)\\35$

So an expression that is equivalent to 5(3+4) is:

$7(2+3)$

That is your answer. It gets you the same final answer of 35.

Hope that helped :)
