Question

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

Answer 1

-6.4z- (3.5x)

Explanation:

cant do z times x

Answer 2

Answer:
`-6.4z-3.5xz`

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 *-6.4 -z*3.5 x\\\\=-6.4z-3.5xz`

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