what number can replace x to show the distributive property 7(2+4) + 14+x? ≽^•⩊•^≼

1 answer

To show the distributive property, we distribute the 7 to each term within the parentheses:

7(2+4) = 7(2) + 7(4) = 14 + 28 = 42.

So the expression becomes:

42 + 14 + x.

No number can be replaced for x to show the distributive property as the distributive property has already been applied to the expression.
