Question

Verify the property: a x (b+ c) = (a x b )+ (a x c ) by taking a =3/5 , b = -2, c =10/13

Answer 1

Answer:

associativity property of addition

Step-by-step explanation:

a×(b+c)=(a×b)+(a×c)

=3/5×(-2+10/13)=(3/5×(-2))+(3/5×10/13)

=3/5×(-26/13+10/13)=-6+6/13

=3/5×(-16/13)=-78/13+6/13

=-48/65=-64/13

a×(b+c)is not equal to(a×b)+(a×c)
