Use the distributive property to evaluate the following expression:9 x (4 + 9). Show your work in your answer.I don't understand how distributive property works. Please help :)

Respuesta :

Given:

[tex]9\times(4+9)[/tex]

By distributive property

[tex]a(b+c)=ab+bc[/tex]

Hence, to solve the given expression multiply the terms in the bracket by 9

This implies

[tex]9\times(4+9)=9\times4+9\times9[/tex]

Simplify further to get

[tex]\begin{gathered} 9\times(4+9)=9\times4+9\times9 \\ 9\times(4+9)=36+81 \\ 9\times(4+9)=117 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 117
