Situation: Find the value of this integer expression: − 2( 3+ −4 + −8 +7)
With Distribution and without Distribution.
This is my answer with distribution
2(3+-4+-8+7)=
(-2)(3)+(-2)(-4)(-2)(-8)+(-2)(7)=
-6+8+16-14=
4
This is my answer without distribution
-2(3+-4+-8+7)=
-2(-2)=
4

yes, it's still 4, just like the last two or three times you posted it.
Your answers are correct!
To solve the expression with distribution, you correctly distributed the -2 to each term within the parentheses. Then you simplified the expression by performing the multiplications and additions. Your final result of 4 is accurate.
To solve the expression without distribution, you can use the rule that multiplying a negative number by a negative number gives a positive result. So when you multiply -2 by -2, you get a positive 4, which is your final answer.
Great job on both methods!
