Question

Distributive Equations that equal 360

Answer 1

Two equations that would equal 360 using the distributive property are:

2(200 - 20) and 2(100 + 80).

What is the distributive property?

The distributive property states that multiplying a number by the sum of two others is equivalent to multiplying the number by each of the two and then adding the results.

For example:

For any numbers a, b, and c, the distributive property can be expressed as follows:

`\[a \cdot (b + c) = a \cdot b + a \cdot c.\]`

An example of such equations that would be equal to 360 are:

2(100 + 80) = 360 which is:

2*100 + 2*80

200 + 160

= 360

Also, we have:

2(200 - 20) = 360

2*200 - 2*20 = 360

400 - 40

= 360
