Question

Using the distributive property find the value of each of the following​

Answer 1

3/5 [(-20/9) + ( -1/3)] = -23/15

Explanation:

3/5 x (-20/9) + 3/5 x (-1/3)

therefore, by distributive property of multiplication over addition,

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

therefore,

3/5 [(-20/9) + ( -1/3)]

= 3/5 [ -20/9 -1/3 ]

= 3/5 [ (-20-3)/9]

= 3/5 ( -23/9)

= 3/5 x -23/9

= -23/15
