What number can replace X to show the distributive property 7 (2+4) = 14 + x
The number that can replace X to show the distributive property in this equation is 42.
7(2+4) = 14 + 42
That is wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
To show the distributive property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.
7(2+4) = 14 + x
First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
7(6) = 14 + x
Next, we multiply:
42 = 14 + x
To isolate the variable, we subtract 14 from both sides:
42 - 14 = x
Therefore, the number that can replace X in the equation is:
x = 28.
