Here is the Distributive Property made simple.
When you have a number outside a number or numbers inside parentheses, you multiply whatever is inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.
3( 7 + 5 +4) becomes 3 x7 + 3x5 +3 x 4
0r 21 +15 +12
You multiplied each of the numbers by the 3
If there is a variable, that is distributed also
3y(4 + 6) becomes 12 y +18y
the fact is you cant copy and paste it you have to take screenshot or picture and attach it i don't understand the the computers substitution for unknown characters
Answer:
45350
Step-by-step explanation:
(8)(20)+(8)(6)(8)+20(8+6)(8)(20)+6
=160+(8)(6)(8)+20(8+6)(8)(20)+6
=160+(48)(8)+20(8+6)(8)(20)+6
=160+384+20(8+6)(8)(20)+6
=544+20(8+6)(8)(20)+6
=544+(20)(14)(8)(20)+6
=544+(280)(8)(20)+6
=544+(2240)(20)+6
=544+44800+6
=45344+6
=45350
