Practice makes perfect

We are asked to evaluate the given expression using the Distributive Property. To do so, we need to distribute 4 to the terms inside the parentheses.

4(11-5)

a-b = a+(- b)

4[11+(- 5)]

Distribute 4

4(11) + 4(- 5)

a(- b)=- a * b

4(11) + [- 4(5)]

Multiply

44+[- 20]

a+(- b)=a-b

44-20

Subtract term
