Answer:

Read below:

Explanation:

To use the distributive property to solve 40x43, you can rewrite the expression as (40)(43) and then distribute the 40 to get:

40 * 43 = 40 * (40 + 3) = 40 * 40 + 40 * 3 = 1600 + 120 = 1720

To use the distributive property to solve 70x24, you can rewrite the expression as (70)(24) and then distribute the 70 to get:

70 * 24 = 70 * (20 + 4) = 70 * 20 + 70 * 4 = 1400 + 280 = 1680
