Question

Find the value: $(3\times 4)+(3\times -11)$

• A. 21
• B. -21
• C. 24
• D. -14

Answer 1

The correct option is B -21

Distributive property of multiplication over addition for integers states that
$a\times (b+c)=(a\times b)+(b\times c)$
Here,
$(3\times 4)+(3\times -11)$
= $3\times [4+(-11\left)\right]$
= $3\times (-7)$
= $-21$
