Question

Fill in the blank:

$6\times [......-(-7\left)\right]=6\times 8-6\times (-7)$

• A. $6$
• B. $8$
• C. $(-7)$
• D. $(-8)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $8$

$(a\times b)-(a\times c)=a(b-c)$ is the distributive property over subtraction for integers.
$\therefore 6\times 8-6\times (-7)=6\times [8-(-7\left)\right]$
