Question

Create one equation with the distributive property and explain how to solve it.

Answer 1

2(3+4)=? would be an equation that you can perform distributive property on.

To solve it, multiply 2x3 and then multiply 2x4 once you have the answers, add them together. That is how to use distributive property. Thanks!

Answer 2

See explanation

Explanation:

An example of an equation with the distributive property would be:

3(x+4) = 30

The distributive property tells us:

3(x+4) = 3x+12, since the 3 carries into both x and 4.

Therefore, you have:

3x + 12 = 30

-> 3x = 18

-> x = 6
