Given the expression: 1990 x 1991 - 1989 x 1990. What counting number is equivalent to the expression?

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

Do you know distributive property of multiplication? That solves this problem quite fast.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont you need parentheses for that though?

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

So you know that your given expression is equivalent to \[1990 \times(1991-1989)\] correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

So 1991-1989=2, so that your original expression is the same as 1990x2=2980.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok. Thanks
