Sorry...I don't get what you were trying to write...could you try to write it using the equation tool?

Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and solve.
9 * 72 = * + 9 + 9 * 2 =
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
Distributive property implies some parentheses somewhere
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
ok so you have
\[9(72)=x*y+9+9*2\]

yes
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
so let's start by breaking down 72 by itself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
so, how else can you write 72?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7.2

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
Try thinking about 72 as a sum, find 3 numbers you can add together to get 72
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
ok, so that works, now, let's apply that concept and think about how the distributive property works, so if you have \[6(x+y)=?\] So can you distribute the 6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what plus what = 6
