Subtract 153-63=90 and I am pretty sure that's what you have to do
16.7 is the answer rounded to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
4(30 +7) = 120 +28 = 148
Step-by-step explanation:
When applying the distributive property to integers, we usually break them apart according to place value. That is not the only way it can be done.
4×37 = 4(30 +7) = 4·30 +4·7 = 120 +28 = 148
___
You can also break apart 37 other ways:
4×37 = 4(35 +2) = 4·35 +4·2 = 140 +8 = 148
4×37 = 4(40 -3) = 4·40 -4·3 = 160 -12 = 148
Or, you can break apart 4:
37×4 = 37(2 +2) = 37·2 +37·2 = 74 +74 = 148
_____
The distributive property is usually written in generic form as ...
a(b+c) = ab +ac
Then you may want to stop after the first couple of steps:
4(30 +7) = 4·30 +4·7
We can't tell if you're suppose to evaluate the expression or not. Check your reference materials for an example of this kind of problem.
