Question

Which property of addition is satisfied by: $$(15 – 12) \times 18 = 15 \times 18 – 12 \times 18$$

Answer 1

Given, $$(15 – 12) \times 18 = 15 \times 18 – 12 \times 18$$,

Now,

$$(15 – 12) \times 18 = 3 \times 18$$,

$$= 54$$, and

$$15 \times 18 – 12 \times 18 = 270 – 216$$,

$$= 54$$.

The property used as Distributive over subtraction satisfied by $$54$$.
