Question

using Distribution property find the following. 18 × ( -16 ) +2× ( -16 )

Answer 1

a*b+a*c=a(b+c)
-16(18+2)
-16*20
-320

Answer 2

• 18*(-16)+2*(-16)
• taking (-16) as common , we get
• (-16) (18 + 2)
• (-16) (20) , means  [(-16)*20]
• -320

   ∴ we get (-320) by using distributive property)
