Question

Use the Distributive Property to simplify

7(6+5)=

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 7(6 + 5) \) using the Distributive Property, you can distribute the \( 7 \) across the terms inside the parentheses:

\[ 7(6) + 7(5) \]

Now calculate each part:

\[ 7 \times 6 = 42 \] \[ 7 \times 5 = 35 \]

Now add those results together:

\[ 42 + 35 = 77 \]

So, \( 7(6 + 5) = 77 \).

The final answer is:

\[ 77 \]
