Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to 6(10x+7y).
Answers
Answer:
60x+42y
Elaboration of Answer:
Distributive property tells us the order of operations to be followed by us while doing mathematical operations.
The order of operations laid by distributive property is given below in chronological order:
1. Solve the brackets.
2.Orders(Exponents and square roots)
3. Division
4. Multiplication.
5.Addition
6. Subtraction
BODMAS can be a good mnemonic for remembering it.
Now using Distributive property on 6(10x+7y)
1. Solve the brackets:
We can't do anything with the part inside the bracket as it contains all unknown values.
Hence, it will be as it is.
2. Orders:
Whenever the index of any term is not shown, it is 1.
If any number is not multiplyed by itself, it can be raised to 1.
3. Division:
The given polynomial doesn't have division with a non one number.
4. Multiplication:
60x+42y
5. Addition:
Indefinite values can't be added
60x+42y
6. Subtraction:
No sign of subtraction is seen
