Question

. Larry solved this equation. 3(2-3)= x Which representation could Larry have used to solve this equation?

Answer 1

x = -3

Explanation:

Given the expression solved by Larry as;

3(2-3) = x

We are to find the equivalent expression x

Using the distributive law;

3(2) - 3(3) = x

6 - 9 = x

-3 = x

Swap

x = -3

Hence Larry could use the distributive law to solve the expression
