I have two questions I don't understand and I need you to explain the steps of each problem to me? Thanks.
Use the distributive property
8(6-2)
Use the distributive property to multiply
7(c+4)
I will be putting this in my notes.
8(6 - 2) = 8(6) - 8(2) by distributive property of multipication
= 48 - 16
= 32
---------------------------
You could also say
8*4 = 32 but that does NOT USE distributive property.
-------------------------
7 c + 7*4 by distributive property
then
= 7 c + 28
45
Sure! I'd be happy to explain how to solve these problems step-by-step.
1. Use the distributive property: 8(6-2)
To use the distributive property, you need to multiply the number outside the parentheses (8) by each term inside the parentheses.
First, distribute 8 to 6:
8 * 6 = 48
Next, distribute 8 to -2:
8 * -2 = -16
Now, combine the results:
48 - 16 = 32
Therefore, 8(6-2) = 32.
2. Use the distributive property to multiply: 7(c+4)
Again, to use the distributive property, you need to multiply the number outside the parentheses (7) by each term inside the parentheses.
First, distribute 7 to c:
7 * c = 7c
Next, distribute 7 to 4:
7 * 4 = 28
Now, combine the results:
7c + 28
Therefore, 7(c+4) = 7c + 28.
I hope this explanation helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
