Multiple choice question.
A)
4(6)+4(5)

B)
4(6)+5(6)

C)
4+5(6)

D)
4(5)+6(5)

Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

6(4)+6(5) or (4)6+(5)6 or 6(4+5) = 6(9) = 54

(24)+(30) (24)+(30) or 6(9) = 54

Answer 2

B) 4(6)+5(6)

Explanation:

Normally when you see an expression like this, (4+5)6; I have to evaluate what's in the parentheses first, then solve it.

It can be either way:

6(4)+6(5) or (4)6+(5)6 or 6(4+5) = 6(9) = 54

(24)+(30) (24)+(30) or 6(9) = 54

This is the following of the distributive property, you must multiply the 6 first:

6(4) + 6(5)

You must distribute the 6 to the 4 then the 6 to the 5 in the distributive property law; you need to remember to remove the parentheses by multiplying first before doing the addition or subtraction!

Now you will the same answer in both case; with both approaches.
