Question

Use the Distributive Property to expand the expression z(−6.4−3.5x)

Answer 1

Answer:

-6.4z- (3.5x)

Step-by-step explanation:

cant do z times x

Answer 2

Answer: $-6.4z-3.5xz$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is given by :-

$a(b+c)= ab+bc$

or $(b+c)a= ba+ca$ , where a, b , c are some algebraic expressions.

The given expression: z(−6.4−3.5x)

Then , by distributive property we have

$z(-6.4-3.5x)= z \times-6.4 -z\times3.5 x\\\\=-6.4z-3.5xz$

Thus , the required expression will be $-6.4z-3.5xz$
