Question

For all rational numbers $a,b$ and $c$, $a(b+c)=ab+bc$. State whether the statement is true (T) or false (F).

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Compare the given expression

The distributive property states that when a factor is multiplied by the sum/addition of two terms, it is essential to multiply each of the two numbers by the factor and finally perform the addition operation. This property can be stated symbolically as:

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

For every rational numbers $a,b$ and $c$,

Hence the given statement is False
