Question

How could you correctly rewrite the equation 4(10+5)=6(12-2) using the distributive property?

Answer 1

Answer:

$40 +20 = 72 -12\\\\60 = 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have an expression in the following way:

$c(a + b)$

So the distributive property says that:

$c(a + b) = ca + cb$

In this case we have the expression:

$4(10 + 5) = 6(12-2)$

Therefore we can rewrite it as:

$4 * 10 + 4 * 5 = 6 * 12 -2 * 6$

Then we have left:

$40 +20 = 72 -12\\\\60 = 60$

Answer 2

4*10+4*5=6*12-6*2

40+20=72-12

60=60

Answer: 60=60
