Answer:
6 * 42 = 6 * (20 + 22)
= (6 * 20) + (6 * 22) = 120 + 132 = 252
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to multiply 6 by 42 using distributive property
In this case, we can have the distributive property as;
a * ( b + c) = ab + bc
Thus, we can represent 42 as (20 + 22)
so 6 * 42 becomes 6 * (20 + 22)
Using the distributive property, we have
(6 * 20) + (6 * 22)
= 120 + 132 = 252
