Question

I need some help on figuring out how to find the distributive propertie

Answer 1

The distributive property allows us to distribute one number over the sum or difference of two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is a property of multiplication that allows us to distribute one number over the sum or difference of two numbers. It states that for any three numbers a, b, and c:

a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c)

Similarly, the distributive property can also be applied to subtraction:

a * (b - c) = (a * b) - (a * c)

For example, let's say we want to multiply 3 by the sum of 2 and 4:

3 * (2 + 4) = (3 * 2) + (3 * 4) = 6 + 12 = 18

Answer 2

The initial equation is:

`-4((3)/(2)x-(1)/(2))=-15`

So if we use the distribution propertie, we have to multiply the 4 for all term in the parenthesis so:

`-4\cdot(3)/(2)x+4\cdot(1)/(2)=-15`

and then we simplify:

`-6x+2=-15`

So is option D)
