Problem 76
Question
State the name of the property illustrated. $$11 \cdot(7+4)=11 \cdot 7+11 \cdot 4$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The property illustrated in the equation is the Distributive Property.
1Step 1: Identify the Structure
Observe the equation, note down the numbers, the operations involved and their orders.
2Step 2: Understand the Property Involved
Notice how the number 11 is multiplied with both 7 and 4 separately despite them being under parentheses. This hints at a particular property of numbers.
3Step 3: Name the Property
This property where a number is multiplied with a group of numbers added together, and it gives the same result as if it was multiplied individually with each number and then added together, is called the Distributive property.
