what is the property of 7(2-p)=14-7p
I'd guess distributive. Why?
idk I have to identify the property of real numbers and that was one of my problems. I don't understand any of the properties. please steve.
If you really don't understand anything about the properties, I suggest google. If you search for "distributive property" you will find many explanations and examples.
If it's still unclear, you really need to sit down with your teacher and get some in-person help.
The property of the equation you described is called the distributive property. It states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b - c) is equal to ab - ac.
To apply the distributive property to the equation 7(2 - p) = 14 - 7p, you need to multiply 7 by both terms inside the parentheses. This gives you:
14 - 7p = 14 - 7p
As you can see, both sides of the equation are the same, which means they are equal. Therefore, the property used in this equation is the distributive property.
