Question

Complete the number sentence to show the distributive property 7X6=

Answer 1

6x7
(6x5=)+(6x2=)
30 + 12
42

Answer 2

Distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, then the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately.

to show
`7 * 6` by distributive property;

we can write
`7 * 6` as

`7 * 6 =7 * (2+4)`

Applying the distributive property, we get

`7 * (2+4) = 7* 2 + 7* 4 = 14+28 = 42`

therefore, by distributive property
`7 * 6 =42`
