Write distributive property over subtraction and verify using a/b = -3/7 , c/d = 12/13 , e/f = -5/6
Added by Mary V.
Step 1
The distributive property over subtraction states that: a(b - c) = ab - ac To verify this property using the given values, we can substitute a/b = -3/7, c/d = 12/13, and e/f = -5/6 into the equation and simplify: -3/7(12/13 - (-5/6)) = (-3/7)(12/13 + 5/6) Show more…
