Answer 1

a

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option (a) is correct.

x(13−29) is equivalent to the 13x - 29x.

Explanation:

Consider the given expression 13x - 29x

Distributive property of real numbers,

Let a, b, c be three real numbers then
`a(b+c)=ab+bc` holds.

Here, using inverse of distributive property stated above,

We can take x common from both the terms,

13x - 29x = x( 13 -29 )

Thus, Option (a) is correct.
