Question

Explain how a(b + c ) can rewritten as (b + c) and as ba + ca

Answer 1

Answer:

The distributive property makes it possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given the expression a(b + c )

the first step is to open the bracket, that is multiply all the terms in the bracket by a, so multiply b by a and c by a also.

Step two:

Thus, this property is called the distributive property of multiplication

a*b+ca
