Question

verify distributive property a×(b+c) =(a×b) +(a×c) for a=5/6 b=-8/3 c=-13/12​

Answer 1

5/6{(-8/3)+(-13/12)}

={5/6×(-8/3)}+{5/6×(-13/12)}

=-20/9+(-65/72)

=-225/72

=-25/8   [Using distributive property]

5/6{(-8/3)+(-13/12)}

=5/6(-45/12)

=-225/72

=-25/8   [Without using distributive property]

Hence verified
