Question

Use the Distributive Property to rewrite the following expression:

 

$8\left(7-4\right)$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The expression is: $8\left(7-4\right)=8\times 7-8\times 4$.

Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is:

 

$8\left(7-4\right)$

Step 2. Write the Property.

The Distributive property is defined as in below:

$a\left(b\pm c\right)=ab\pm ac$

Where a, b and c are real numbers.

Step 3. Rewrite the expression.

The expression $8\left(7-4\right)$ can be written as in below:

$8\left(7-4\right)=8\times 7-8\times 4$
