The rule of distributive property allows you to rewrite xa + xb as x (a + b).
So if x = 2, a = 3 and b = 4, xa + xb = x(a + b)
(2 * 3) + (2 * 4) = 2 (3 + 4)
6 + 8 = 14
14 = 14
...and so on. You may try it yourself with different variations.

148 people
Since we know that the total number of people is 410, we know that the whole circle is equal to 410 people. We know that a full circle is 360 degrees, so our group would be 130 degrees of those 360, or 130/360. Since one complete circle is 410 people, we multiply this by 130/360 to find the number of people that said red is their favorite color is 148.
