Luke Bryan said the following expressions are equivalent because of the
Distributive Property. Is he correct?
2( 2x2+ 6) = 2x2+ 1


Sagot :

Luke is not correct

You need to do the problem in order of PEMDAS, so start with parentheses

2 x 2 = 4 + 6 = 10
Distribute the 2 on the outside
2 x 10 = 20

On the other side of the equation start with multiplication

2 x 2 = 4 + 1 = 5

5 ≠ 10
