Question

Which property is used in the first step to solve this equation?

Equation: 7 + 0.25(3.6 – 1.35)
Step 1: 7 + 0.25(3.6) – 0.25(1.35)
Step 2: 7 + 0.9 – 0.3375
Result: 7.5625

Answer 1

do you know BODMAS rule

Answer 2

associative

Answer 3

It is Distributive law

Answer 4

or distributive idfk

Answer 5

im pretty sure its distributive

Answer 6

Ok BODMAS rule stands for Bracket of Division Multiplication Addition And subtraction
So first solve (3.6-1.35)
then multiply 0.25x2.25
then 7+0.5625
=7.5625
I agree with hheston that property would be distributive because here there is distribution of expression associative property is used when a relation exists between tow expressions
