Question

Find the value of the following:

$(-600)\times 49+(-600)$

Answer 1

Step 1: Applying distributive property:-

Here we will use the distributive property of multiplication over addition which says

$a\times b+a\times c=a\times (b+c)$

Hence

$(-600)\times 49+(-600)\times 1$

In this question:

$$\begin{gathered} a=(-600),b=49andc=1 \\ =(-600)\times (49+1) \\ =(-600)\times \left(50\right) \\ =-30000 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of the given expression is$=-30000$.
