Question

Randy wants to use the Distributive Property to rewrite 56-21. Which expression could he use?

A. 8(7-4)
B. 7(8-3)
C. 4(14-8)
D. 2(28-14)

Answer 1

B is your answer.
Because 7 times 8 is 56 and 7 times 3 is 21.

Answer 2

B. 7(8 - 3).

Explanation:

56 = 7 * 8

21 = 7 * 3

So we can take out 7.

56 - 21 = 7(8 - 3).
