Question

Which expression is equivalent to 7(xy) 7x+y 7x-y x(7y) xy/7

Answer 1

Answer: $x(7y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression: $7(xy)$

i.e. a product of 7 and xy.

The operation used here: Multiplication.

Commutative property of multiplication  :-

$a\times b=b\times a$ for any numbers a and b.

Associative property of multiplication :-

$a\times(b\times c)=(a\times b\times c)$ for any numbers a , band c.

Now, $7(xy)=(7x)y$ [Associative property of multiplication]

$=(x7)y$  [Commutative property of multiplication]

$=x(7y)$    [Associative property of multiplication]

Answer 2

x(7y) this is what it would be
