Question

Verify the distributive property a x (b+c) = (a x b) + (a x c) for the rational numbers
A=1/2
B=2/3
C=-5/6

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:                                                  

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

1/2 x (2/3+5/6) = (1/2 x 2/3) + (1/2 x 5/6)

do brackets first because DMAS rule

1/2 x 27/18  = 1/3 + 5/12 find the lcm of 3 , 12 = 12

27/36 = 4/12  +  5/12

27/36 = 9/12

simplify 27/36 = 3/4

simplify 9/12 = 3/4

3/4 = 3/4
