It depends on the question given, for example
you can do distributive property will multiplying.
Example 1:
there is two ways on doing distributive property.
I can do 4(8+3)
add 8+3 since it is inside the parenthesis which equals = 11 then multiply the outside on what you added. 4x11= 44
example 2: I can also do it another way. 4(8+3) distribute the 4 by multiplying the 4 with both numbers. 4x8 and 4x3 which equals 32, and 12. add 32+12=44
so either way you will get the same answer. hope I helped.
Hope this equation is correct and helps you
If you still meed help 5/3 is the answer
