How do you use the distributive property to create an equivalent expression for 54+18x

1 Answer

1 vote
The distributive property states:

A(b+c)= ab + ac

You would need to find a number that multiplies both 54 and 18.

You could divide both by 2, since they are both even.

54/2= 27 18/2=9

2( 27 + 9x)

Make sure to put the x next to nine.

I hope this helps!
