Question

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression after using the distributive property?

1) 6 x 13 + 6 x 7
2) 6 x 7(13 + 6)
3) 6(13 + 7)
4) 6 x (13 + 6) x 7
5) 6(13 + 6) x 7

Answer 1

The expression that is equivalent to the given expression after using the distributive property is 6(13 + 7). The result of this expression is 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that is equivalent to the given expression after using the distributive property is 3) 6(13 + 7).

To use the distributive property, we apply the factor outside the parentheses to each term inside the parentheses.

In this case, we have the factor 6 and the terms (13 + 7).

Therefore, the expression becomes 6 multiplied by the sum of 13 and 7, which is 6 multiplied by 20, resulting in 120.
