Which property is represented by a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)?

• Distributivity of multiplication over addition

• Distributivity of addition over multiplication

• Associative property

• Commutative property

Answer explanation

The distributive property of multiplication over addition is applied when you multiply a value by a sum. For example, you want to multiply 5 by the sum of 10 + 3. As we have like terms, we usually first add the numbers and then multiply by 5. But, according to the property, you can first multiply every addend by 5

Balance the given statement with respect to distributive property.

• (50 x 10)+2

• (50 +10) × 2

• (2 × 50 ) + ( 2 × 10 )

• none of these

Answer explanation

To balance the given situation we need to find the equivalent term of (2 × 50 ) + ( 2 × 10 ) using the distributive property Using distributive property of multiplication over addition we know that, a × (b + c) = (a × b) +(a × c) It can also be written as (a × b) + (a × c) = a × (b + c) we get (2 × 50) + (2 × 10) = 2 × (50 + 10) To balance the situation we need 2 × (50 + 10) however we know that multiplication is commutative therefore, 2 × (50 + 10) = (50 + 10) × 2 The term required to balance the situation is (50 +10) × 2 therefore option 2 is correct
