Question

Find the value of the following: $297\times 17+297\times 3$

Answer 1

Apply the distributive property to find the required answer.

Given: $297\times 17+297\times 3$

using the distributive property $a\times b+a\times c=a\left(b+c\right)$

putting $a=297,b=17,c=3$

$297\times (17+3)$ $$\begin{gathered} =297\times 20 \\ =5940 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required final answer is $5940.$
