Question

what is the distributive property of (2-9c)(-8)

Answer 1

Simplify (2-9c)(-8)

(2−9c)(−8)(2-9c)(-8)

Apply the distributive property.

2⋅−8−9c⋅−82⋅-8-9c⋅-8

Simplify the expression.



Multiply 22 by −8-8.

−16−9c⋅−8-16-9c⋅-8

Multiply −8-8 by −9-9.

−16+72c-16+72c

Reorder −16-16 and 72c72c.

72c−16

Answer 2

The distributive property

• Multiply each of the addend separately
• Then add up the two result to get the final answer

Distributive Property  : (a)( b + c) = (a)(b) + (a)(c)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2 - 9c)( -8)

Distribute the (-8):

= (2) (-8) + (-9c)(-8)

Evaluate each term:

= -16 + 72c

= 72c - 16

Answer: The answer is 72c - 16
