Question

Use the distributive property to rewrite each algebraic expression 7(y+2) + (8+r) + 8(x + 9)

Answer 1

7y+r+8x+94

Step-by-step explanation

Given the algebraic expression 7(y+2) + (8+r) + 8(x + 9)

Given A, B and C. According to distributive law;

A(B+C) = AB + AC

A is distributed over C. In the same vein

On expanding the expression;

7(y+2) + (8+r) + 8(x + 9)

7y+7(2) + 8 + r + 8(x)+ 8(9)

7y+14+8+r+8x+72

Bringing the variables and constants together

7y+r+8x+14+8+72

7y+r+8x+94
