Answer:

The equivalent sum is
100 + 83 .

Explanation:

Hector must use the Distributive Property to make calculations quicker:

50 + 83 + 50 (Given)

50 + 50 + 83 (Conmutative Property)

50 * (1+1) + 83 (Distributive Property)

50 * 2 + 83 (Distributive Property)

2* 50 + 83 (Conmutative Property)

100 + 83 (Multiplication)

183 (Sum)

The equivalent sum is
100 + 83 .
