Question

Select from the drop-down menu to correctly identify the property shown. (−3.4+(−9.2))+(−5.6)=−(3.4+9.2)+(−5.6)

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:
(-3.4 + (- 9.2)) + (- 5.6)
Applying the distributive property we can rewrite the expression.
The distributive property consists in multiplying the values that are inside a parenthesis, by a value that is outside the parentheses.
Therefore, the value outside the parenthesis is -1.
We have then:
- (3.4 + 9.2) + (- 5.6)
Answer:
Distributive property.
