In this worksheet, we use the distributive law for addition.
Example
Work out the values of A, B, C and D.
59×3 + 59×7 | = |
|
+ |
|
= |
|
59×(3 + 7) | = |
|
Answer
A = 177
B = 413
C = 590
D = 590
This means that 59 x 3 + 59 x 7 is the same as 59 x (3 + 7)
This is the DISTRIBUTIVE LAW and makes it easier to work out the answer as 3 + 7 = 10
so we easily get 59 x 10 = 590
