What number can replace x to show the Distributive Property 7(2+4)=14+x ?(1 point)

Answer 1

To use the distributive property, we can multiply the 7 by each term inside the parentheses.

7(2+4) = (7 * 2) + (7 * 4)
= 14 + 28

So, both sides of the equation become:
14 + 28 = 14 + x

Combining like terms on the left side, we have:
42 = 14 + x

Now, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 14 from both sides of the equation:
42 - 14 = 14 + x - 14
28 = x

Therefore, the number that can replace x to show the distributive property is 28.
