Question

1 and 2 are already done but its about re writing the expression using the distributive property

Answer 1

3)

6(6 - 1)

Expand using distributive property:

$\begin{gathered} 6\ast6\text{ +6(-1)} \\ =\text{ 36 - 6} \\ =\text{ 30} \end{gathered}$

4)

$(3\text{ + }8)15$

Rewrite using distributive property:

$\begin{gathered} 15\ast3\text{ + 8}\ast15 \\ =\text{ 45}+120 \\ =\text{ 165} \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

3) 36-6 = 30

4) 45+120 = 165
