Answer: 4.2(1.9+0.4)=3.8(6.1-3.558)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not quite sure if this is what is being asked, but all you need to do now is check to make sure that both sides are equal to each other:
Distribute on both sides: (4.2*1.9)+(4.2*0.4)=(3.8*6.1)-(3.8*3.558)
Simplify inside the parenthesis: 7.98+1.68=23.18-13.52
Simplify both sides of the equation: 9.66=9.66
Since 9.66 is equal to 9.66, that means that this expression is correct. On top of that, it exemplifies the way that the Distributive Property works; by distributing or applying one term to all existing terms inside of a set of parenthesis.
I hope this helps!
