Verify the following and name the property:$-66( 50+2)=( -66) \times 50+( -66)\times2$

Given: Expression: $-66( 50+2)=( -66) \times 50+( -66)+2$

To do: To verify the given expression and name the property.

Solution:

Given expression is: $-66( 50+2)=( -66) \times 50+( -66)\times2$

$L..H.S.=-66( 50+2)$

$=-66( 52)$

$=-3432$

$R.H.S.=( -66) \times 50+( -66)\times2$

$=-3300-132$         [$\because ( -66) \times 50=-3300$ and $( -66)\times2=-132$]

$=-3432$

Thus, $L.H.S.=R.H.S.$      [The expression verified]

Distributive property in the expression.
