Question
Check the following for equality and if they are equal, mention the property.
3 × [(−4) + (−10)] and [3 × (−4) + 3 × (−10)]
Solution
Consider 3 × [(−4) + (−10)] = 3 × −14 = − 42
Now [3 × (−4) + 3 × (−10)] = (−12) + (−30) = − 42
Here 3 × [(−4) + (−10)] = [3 × (−4) + 3 × (−10)]
It is the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
