Question

What is another way of writing 34 x (65 + 27)?

I need to expand on how this is worked out. Thank you

Answer 1

36 x (65+27) is the same as 36(65+27) .. you are able to distribute the 36 ( distributive property) onto the 65 and 27 and add them. Also, you can add the numbers in between the parenthesis and multipy them by 36. Nonetheless, you would arrive at the same answers.

Answer 2

`34* 65+34* 27`

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`34* (65+27)`. We are asked to expand our given expression.

We will use distributive property
`a(b+c)=ab+ac` to expand our given expression.

Using distributive property, we will distribute 34 to 65 and 27 as:

`34* 65+34* 27`

Therefore, the expanded form of our given expression would be
`34* 65+34* 27`.
