\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 Do you know how the distributive property works? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) not rlly i cant rember

snowflake0531:

The distributive property is \[a(b+c) = ab+ac\] \[a(b-c) = ab-ac\]

BBYGIRL:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 The distributive property is \[a(b+c) = ab+ac\] \[a(b-c) = ab-ac\] \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)0-0 im still a bit confused

snowflake0531:

So, in this case \[7(-2- \frac{ 8 }{ 7 })\]

BBYGIRL:

oh

snowflake0531:

Like a(b-c) this equals a times b, minus, a times c

snowflake0531:

So, can you try \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 So, in this case \[7(-2- \frac{ 8 }{ 7 })\] \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

snowflake0531:

7 is a, -2 is b, -8/7 is c Do the multiplication 7(-2) - 7(8/7) simplify it

BBYGIRL:

oki

BBYGIRL:

22/1

BBYGIRL:

the answer

snowflake0531:

are you sure that it is 22? -14-8 is....?

BBYGIRL:

um confused

snowflake0531:

7(-2) - 7(8/7) This equals -14 - 8 Do you agree?

BBYGIRL:

oh yes

snowflake0531:

So, what is -14 - 8

BBYGIRL:

-22

snowflake0531:

So there's your answer -22/1
