I need to use distributive property to write an equivalent expression.
19(k)+19(2)
I don't know what it is?
I got 19k(2) though I don't know if it's right.
Also, whats 62(8)-62(z)?
Distributive property says, for example:
4 * 3.14159 + 5 * 3.14159
=(4 + 5|) * 3.14159
= 9 * 3.14159
that should give you the idea. And the second one is the same idea.
To use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for 19(k) + 19(2), you can distribute the 19 to both terms inside the parentheses, multiplying each term by 19 separately.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with the original expression: 19(k) + 19(2).
2. Distribute 19 to the first term inside the parentheses, which is 'k': 19 * k = 19k.
3. Distribute 19 to the second term inside the parentheses, which is '2': 19 * 2 = 38.
4. Combine the two new terms: 19k + 38.
Therefore, the equivalent expression using the distributive property is 19k + 38.
Keep in mind that the distributive property allows you to distribute a term outside the parentheses to each term inside the parentheses separately.
