Is {10 × (5 + 2)} = {(10 × 5) + (10 × 2)} ? Which rule is this? [4 MARKS]
LHS : 1 Mark
RHS : 1 Mark
Answer : 1 Mark
Rule : 1 Mark
LHS = {10 × (5 + 2)}
= 10 × (7)
= 70
RHS = {(10 × 5 ) + (10 × 2 )}
= {50 + 20}
= 70
Hence , LHS = RHS
This rule is known as Distributivity of multiplication over addition.
