Question

How could you correctly rewrite the equation 4(10+5) = 6(12 - 2) using the distributive property?

40 + 5 = 72 - 2
40 + 30 = 72 - 2
o 20 + 40 = - 12 + 72
40 + 20 = 72 - 12

Answer 1

40 + 20 = 72 - 12

Explanation:

1. You distribute the 4 to the 10 and the 5 (Same on the other side of the equation.)

2. So it's 4x10 + 4x5 = 6x12 - 6x2 (Remember to multiply first and then add), so you get:

3. 40 + 20 = 72 - 12

4. That is the last answer.

Answer 2

40+20=72-12 answer is D
