How do you rewrite the expression #4times(6+2)# using the distributive property?

Answer 1

Savannah Anderson

#4 xx (6 + 2) => (4 xx 6) + (4 xx 2)#

To rewrite this express you multiple what is outside the parenthesis against what is inside the parenthesis.

#4 xx (6 + 2) => (4 xx 6) + (4 xx 2)#

To rewrite the expression 4 times (6 + 2) using the distributive property, you distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:

4 * (6 + 2) = (4 * 6) + (4 * 2) = 24 + 8 = 32.
