What is the distributive property for 8 x 71?

8 * 71

8 (71 - 0) could be a possibility.

Answer: 8 (71 - 0)

Distributive property is a (b+c) = ab+ac

it could be

8 is 'a' or

71 is 'a'

I prefer 71=a so

basically b+c=8

probably prefer positive so

some possible combls are

0 and 8

1 and 7

2 and 6

3 and 5

4 and 4

and the rest is just reverse

71 (0+8) = 71 (0) + 71 (8) = 0+568=568

71 (1+7) = 71 (1) + 71 (7) = 71+497=568

71 (2+6) = 71 (2) + 71 (6) = 142+426=568

71 (3+5) = 71 (3) + 71 (5) = 213+355=568

71 (4+4) = 71 (4) + 71 (4) = 284+284=568
