which property is shown by -5 x (6 + 7) = -5 x 6 + (-5) x 7 i think its distributive but im so confused please help
it is the distributive property. what is confusing here
what property is shown
5 ٠(6 + 7) = 5 ٠ 6 + 5 ٠ 7
what property is shown of multiplication 5 ٠(6 + 7) = 5 ٠ 6 + 5 ٠ 7
what property is shown 10 + 0 = 0 + 10 = 10
Which property justifies the fact that 5(x−2) is equivalent to 5x−10?
Yes, you are correct! The property shown in the equation -5 x (6 + 7) = -5 x 6 + (-5) x 7 is called the distributive property.
The distributive property states that when you multiply a number by the sum or difference of two other numbers, you can distribute the multiplication to each of the numbers inside the parentheses.
In this equation, you are multiplying -5 by the sum of 6 and 7 on the left side. To simplify this, you can apply the distributive property and multiply -5 by each number inside the parentheses individually.
So, -5 x (6 + 7) becomes (-5 x 6) + (-5 x 7) on the right side, where -5 is multiplied by each number separately.
Therefore, the equation -5 x (6 + 7) = -5 x 6 + (-5) x 7 illustrates the distributive property.
