Question

257 x 56 = (257 x 60) - (257 x ___)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$257 \times 56 = = (257 \times 60) - (257\times 4)​$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive Property is an algebraic property that allows you to multiply two or more numbers within a set of parenthesis. When a factor is multiplied by the sum/addition of two terms, the distributive property states that it is necessary to multiply each of the two integers by the factor before performing the addition operation. This property is denoted by the symbol:

A ( B+ C) = AB + AC

Where A, B and C are three different values.

$257 \times 56 = 257 \times (60 - 4)$

$= (257 \times 60) - (257\times 4)​$
