Question

verify distributive property a(b+c)=a×b×a×c by taking a= 3/2, b=-2/7, and c=-1/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

a(b+c) is not equal to a×b×a×c

Step-by-step explanation:

a(b+c)=a×b×a×c

a= 3/2, b=-2/7, and c=-1/2

LHS=a(b+c)

3/2(-2/7+(-1/2))

3/2(-2/14-1/14). LCM

3/2×-3/14

-9/28

RHS=a×b×a×c

3/2×(-2/7)×(-1/2)

6/28
