Question

Simplify using the properties of whole numbers.

$18\times 12+22\times 12$

Answer 1

Simplifying using distributive property

According to distributive properties : $A\times B+A\times C=A(B+C)$

$18\times 12+22\times 12$ $=12\times (18+22)$

$=12\times 40$

$=480$

Hence,$18\times 12+22\times 12$ $=480$
