use the distributive property to find the value of n : 15 x16=(10*10)+(10*n)+(5*10)+(5*n)

Question

use the distributive property to find the value of n :        15 x16=(10*10)+(10*n)+(5*10)+(5*n)

anonymous · Answer

240 = (100)+10n + (50) +5n
240 = 150 + 15n
90 = 15 n
solve for n
90/15 = n
n = 6

are you sure thats the distributive way of solving.

anonymous · Answer

the distributive property allows you to multiply to get the product (what was inside the parentheses) and then add after.

basically, you can do all the individual equations and then put them all together.

also, note that I added the 10n to the 5n to get 15n, and the 100 to 50 to get 150. that's the distributive property, to put things that are alike together.

oh pellet bro, i thought the distributive was multiplying an inside paranthesis numbers by an outside variable,!!

anonymous · Answer

but there wasn't any of that in the equation you put up.
