Question

What is the expression after applying the distributive property?

$-3.1\left[-9+\left(-7\right)\right]$

Answer 1

What is the expression after applying distributive property:

The distributive property states that an expression which is given in form of $A(B+C)$ can be solved as $A\times (B+C)=AB+AC$.

Given expression is $-3.1\left[-9+\left(-7\right)\right]$.

Apply distributive property;

$$\begin{gathered} -3.1\left[-9+\left(-7\right)\right]=-3.1\times \left(-9\right)+\left(-3.1\right)\times \left(-7\right) \\ -3.1\left[-9+\left(-7\right)\right]=3.1\times 9+3.1\times 7 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, this is the required expression after applying distributive property.
