Answer:

8 x ( 7 + 3 ) = (8 x 7) + ( 8 x 3)

OR (if you want to solve)

80

Explanation:

This equation represents the distributive property.

When there is a number on the outside of parentheses we can multiply it by every number within the parentheses.

So when we solve this, it can look like this:

8 x (7 + 3)

(8 x 7) + (8 x 3)

(56) + (24)

= 80

I hope this helps!!
