The expressions equivalent to -0.5(1.7+1.7) are -0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)
and 2(-0.5(1.7))
<h3>Distributive law of expansion</h3>
Given the expression below;
-0.5 (1.7 + 1.7)
According to the distributive law;
A(B+C) = AB + AC
Expand
-0.5(1.7) + (-0.5)(1.7)
-0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)
2(-0.5(1.7))
Hence the expressions equivalent to -0.5(1.7+1.7) are -0.5(1.7) - 0.5(1.7)
and 2(-0.5(1.7))
