Question

6 (b-0.13b) how can i solve this using distributive property

Answer 1

The expression is given as,

`6\text{ }*\text{ ( b - 0.13b )}`

According to the distributive property,

`a\text{ ( b - c ) = a}* b\text{ - a}* c`

The given expression is simplified as follows :

`\begin{gathered} 6\text{ }*\text{ ( b - 0.13b ) = 6}* b\text{ - 6 }*\text{ 0.13b} \\ 6\text{ }*\text{ ( b - 0.13b ) = 6b - 0.78b} \\ 6\text{ }*\text{ ( b - 0.13b ) }=\text{ b ( 6 - 0.78 )} \\ 6\text{ }*\text{ ( b - 0.13b ) = 5.22b} \end{gathered}`

Thus the result of the given expression is ,

`6(b-0.13b)\text{ = 5.22b}`
