Answer 1

Answer: Your answer would be the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation: :) hope I helped

Answer 2

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`.
