A farmer sold 54 pumpkins the first weekend of a fall festival and 42 pumpkins the second weekend.

Which expression uses the distributive property to show equivalent expressions for this situation?

54 + 42 = (3)(18) + (6)(7)
54 + 42 = (9)(10) + 6
54 + 42 = 90 + 6
54 + 42 = 6(9 + 7)

Answer:

54 + 42 = 6(9 + 7)

Explanation:

Using distributive property on the right side of the equality, you multiply 6 and nine and 6 and 7 to get rid of the parenthesis.
