Question

Jimmy applied the distributive property to write the equation below.

24 + 6 = 6 (4 + 2)

What is Jimmy’s error?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sum of 'n' terms of two different AP's are in ratio (5n+4):(9n+6).

find ratio of their 13th term

Sum of 'n' terms of two different AP's are in ratio (5n+4):(9n+6).

find ratio of their 13th term

Answer 2

Answer:

Jimmy wrote two expression that are not equivalent .

Step-by-step explanation:

Jimmy applied the distributive property to write the equation below

24+6=6(4+2)

Distributive property:

a.(b+c)=a.b+a.c

LHS( left hand side ):

24+6=30

By addition property of integers

RHS( right hand side):

6(4+2)

=6\times 4+ 6\times 26×4+6×2

By simplification

=24+12

=36

30\neq 3230



=32

LHS\neq



= RHS

Hence, Jimmy wrote two expression that are not equivalent.
