Question

Give examples of how we can use the distributive property to create equivalent expressions that make it easier for us to calcuate an amount plus (or minus) a fraction of that amount,but written with decimals. (e.g 100x + 12x = 112x)

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Given examples,} \\ \Rightarrow112x \\ \Rightarrow x*(112) \\ \Rightarrow x*(100+12) \\ \text{This is the didtributive property calculation.} \end{gathered}`
