Question

Find using distributive property 7/5x-13/12 +7/5x8/12

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{5} \times (\frac{ - 13}{12} ) + \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{8}{12} = \frac{7}{5} ( \frac{ - 13}{12} + \frac{8}{12} ) \\ = \frac{7}{5}( \frac{ - 13 + 8}{12} ) = \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{ - 5}{12} = \frac{ - 7}{12} .$

distributive property,AB+AC=A(B+C).

or,A(B+C)=AB+AC.

Hope this helps..
