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

1 answer

The Distributive Property states that multiplication can be distributed over addition. To show the Distributive Property in the given equation, we need to multiply 7 to both terms inside the parentheses:

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

This simplifies to:

7(6) = 14 + 28

Now, we can calculate the final equation:

42 = 14 + 28

So the number that can replace x is 42.
