Solve by using distributive property \$9 times( 2 + 4)\$.

Step 1

Given expression:

\$9 times ( 2 + 4 )\$
Apply the distributive property:

\$"a" times ("b" + "c") = "a" times "b" + "a" times "c"\$

\$9 times (2 + 4) = 9 times 2 + 9 times 4\$

Explanation:

Here, we applied the distributive property of addition by rewriting the expression.

Step 2

Perform the multiplication:

\$ 9 times 2 + 9 times 4\$

18 + 36 = 54

So, \$9 times ( 2 + 4 ) = 54\$ after applying the distributive property and simplifying.

Explanation:

Here, multiplication and addition were executed. Thus, applying the distributive property to 9×( 2 + 4 ) yields the result of 54.
