Question

For the following value of a, b and c verify that a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c) Where a = 1/2 b = 2/3 c = 3/7

Answer 1

Answer:

answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a x (b+c) = (a x b) + (a x c)

ab + ac = ab + ac

Substituting the values we get,

(1/2 x 2/3) + (1/2 x 3/7) = (1/2 x 2/3) + (1/2 x 3/7)

1/3 + 3/14 = 1/3 + 3/14

14/42 + 9/42 = 14/42 + 9/42    [ Since, LCM Of 3 and 14 is 42 ]

23/42 = 23/42

Hence, proved.
