What number can replace X to show the distributive property 7 (2+4) = 14 + x

Answer 1

To show the distributive property, we can perform the calculation on the left side of the equation:

7(2 + 4) = 7(6) = 42

So, to make the equation true, X should be equal to 42.

Answer 2

That’s wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

The distributive property states that:

a(b + c) = ab + ac

In this case, we have:

7(2 + 4) = 14 + X

On the left side, applying the distributive property:

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

Therefore, X should be equal to 42 to satisfy the equation.
