Question

How do you use the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate `(6-2)8`?

Answer 1

The answer is `32`. Explanation below.

Explanation:

The distributive property states that:

`a(b+c) = ab + ac`

In case it is written like `(b+c)a`, the result is the same.

So, we get `8 * 6 - 8 * 2 = 48 - 16 = 32`.
