Question 986652: I am working on properties of numbers but it wasn't in the list I could select.
What is another way to write 3 x (4+7)?
the choices I have are 3 x 4 + 7; 3 x 4 x 7; 3 x 4 + 3 x 7 or (3 x 4) + (3 x 7). I believe it is the first one 3 x 4 + 7.

------
You know that 3 x (4+7) = 3*11 = 33
----------------------------------------
Ans: 3*4 + 3*7 = 12+21 = 33
Property:: Multiplication distributes over addition.
