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

1 answer

The number that can replace x to show the distributive property is 42.

To prove this, let's substitute x with 42 in the equation:
7(2+4) = 14 + x
7(6) = 14 + 42
42 = 56

Thus, when x equals 42, the distributive property is satisfied.
