Question

instead of using the distributive property to expand 0.25 x (16.60a + 12.20y) could you have first found the sum 16.60a +12.20y explain

Answer 1

nahh hhh bro

if u had a and y then yaaaaaaaaaas

Answer 2

Distributive property is the same as product of sum

So

0.25 (16.6 a + 12.2 y) = 0.25 × 16.6a + 0.25 × 12.2y = 0.25 [16.6 a + 12.2 y]
