Question

DVDS are on sale for $24 each Felipe writes expression 4*24 to find the cost in dollars of

buying 4 DVDS how can you rewrite Felipe's expression using the distributive property

Answer 1

4(18+6) = 4*18 + 4*6 = 72 + 24 = 96

Answer 2

we know that

The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of

`a(b + c)=ab+ac`

then

we need to remember to multiply first, before doing the addition

in this problem

Let

`a=4`

`(b+c)=24`

`(b+c)=20+4`

substitute

`4*24=4*(20+4)\\=4*20+4*4\\=80+16\\=\$96`
