Question

How do you use the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate `7(h-10)`?

Answer 1

`color(green)(7h-70`

Explanation:

`color(blue)(7(h-10)`

Use the distributive property

`color(brown)(a)(color(red)(b)+color(orange)(c))=color(brown)(a)color(red)(b)+color(brown)(a)color(orange)(c)`

`:.color(brown)(7)(color(red)(h)+color(orange)(10))=color(brown)(7)*color(red)(h)-color(brown)(7)*color(orange)(10)`

`color(green)(rArr7h-70`
