Question

Which equation correctly applies the distributive property?

​ −2.5⋅(4⋅3.67)=(−2.5⋅4)⋅3.67 ​

​ 2.4⋅(−3.4)⋅(−1.25)=−3.4⋅2.4⋅(−1.25) ​
​
(42⋅3.5)+(42⋅1.3)+(42⋅5.2)=42(3.5+1.3+5.2) ​

​ −3⋅(6.48)=(−3⋅6)+(−3⋅0.4)+(−3⋅0.08) ​

Answer 1

Distributive Property follows as:

\(\Large\bf{a(b+c) = ab + ac}\)

Which do you believe follows this format?

Answer 2

the first one?

Answer 3

Not quite.

The first one only distributes once and multiplies instead of adding.

\(\large\bf{-2.5 (4 \times 3.67)= (-2.5 \times 4) \color{red}{+} (\color{red}{-2.5 \times~}3.67)}\)

Answer 4

so that leaves the last two

Answer 5

yes. so is it C or D?

Answer 6

I think C

Answer 7

Correct!

Answer 8

thank you

Answer 9
