Question

Meghan uses (4x12) + (4x6) to solve a division problem what is the problems and quotient

Answer 1

As you can see in the two terms, a multiplication by 4 has been distributed between a 12 and a 6.

This means that the original operation was

`4\cdot 12 + 4 \cdot 6 = 4(12+6) = 4\cdot 18 = 72`
