18(3+14) x 6(21+4)

With and without distributive property

With Distributive Property
18(3+14)(6)(21+4)
=(18)(17)(6)(21+4)
=(306)(6)(21+4)
=1836(21+4)
=(1836)(25)
=45900

Not sure how to do it without using the distributive property. Hope my first answer does you well though!
Without using the distributive property, follow order of operations, which means completing the operations that are inside the brackets first:
18(3+14) x 6(21+4)
=18(17) × 6(25)
=18 × 17 × 6 × 25
Since we have only multiplication left, the order in which it is done doesn't matter. Let's multiply 18 by 17 and 6 by 25:
=306 × 150
=45900
With the distributive property:

18(3+14) x 6(21+4)

so you would add the stuff in parenthesis

18(17) x 6(25)

and then you multiply 18 by 17 and 6 by 25

306 x 150 = ?

and then you solve for ?

Hope this helps! <3
