TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step-1 – What are real numbers?

Real numbers are simply the combination of Whole numbers, Integers, Rational and Irrational numbers in the number system.

Step-2 – Distributive Property of Multiplication

Suppose a, b, and c is three real numbers.

Distributive Property of Multiplication

Property: $a (b + c) = a \cdot b + a \cdot c$

Example: $12 (3 + 4) = 12 \cdot 3 + 12 \cdot 4 = 36 + 48 = 84$

Step-3: Evaluate the expression using the distributive property and mental math.

We can write 96 as 90+ 6, to evaluate the expression 3(96), we can use the distributive method of multiplication.

Distributive Property of Multiplication

Property: $a (b + c) = a \cdot b + a \cdot c$

$\begin{array}{l} 3 (96) = 3 (90 + 6) = 3 \cdot 90 + 3 \cdot 6 = 270 + 18 = 288 \\ 3 (96) = 288 \end{array}$
