Question

Use the Distributive property to expand the expression y(9-0.2x)

Answer 1

Answer:

9y - 0.2xy is the answer after applying Distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y(9-0.2x)$

To Find:

Expression after applying Distributive property.

Solution:

Distributive property:

In Distributive property, it lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

OK, that definition is not really helpful for most people. It is easier to understand the meaning if you look at the examples below.

i.e A (B + C) = A×B + A×C

On Applying Distributive property to the given expression we get,

$y(9-0.2x)=y\times 9-y\times0.2\times x\\y(9-0.2x)=9y-0.2\times x\times y$

$\therefore y(9-0.2x)=9y-0.2xy \ \ \ \textrm{we can write xy or yx it same as 2*3 = 3*2 = 6}$

9y - 0.2xy

is the answer after applying Distributive property.
