Question

Brandon wants to use the Distributive Property to figure this problem out. What should be his next step?

8 × (10 + 7)

Answer 1

Answer: 136

Explanation:

When you do distributive Property, you are multiplying everything right before the parenthesis, with everything inside the parenthesis.

8 x (10 + 7)

1. Multiply 8 by 10 to get 80

2. Multiply 8 by 7 to get 56

Now you have: (80 + 56)

3. Add the numbers

80 + 56 = 136

Answer 2

Answer: (8*10) + (8*7)

Step-by-step explanation: This would be distributing the 8 to both numbers while still adding the two products
