The Distributive Property states that for any numbers a, b, and c: a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c.
In this case, we have 7 * (2 + 4) = 14 + x.
To find the value of x, we need to apply the Distributive Property to the left side of the equation:
7 * (2 + 4) = 7 * 2 + 7 * 4
7 * 6 = 14 + x
42 = 14 + x
To find the value of x, we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:
42 - 14 = 14 - 14 + x
28 = x
Therefore, the number that can replace x to show the Distributive Property is 28.
What number can replace x to show the Distributive Property 7(2 + 4) = 14 + x?
Thanks, I need the right answer.
