Q. Example 2: Fill in the blanks with suitable numbers to make the statements correct.(i) 7×(−2+3)=7×(−2)+7×3(ii) 3×(−4+2)=3×2+3×2Solutions:
Apply Distributive Property: For (i) use the distributive property of multiplication over addition: 7×(−2+3) should equal 7×(−2)+7×3. Calculate each side to check if they are equal.
Use Distributive Property Again: For (ii) use the distributive property again: 3×(−4+2) should equal 3×(−4)+3×2. Calculate each side to check if they are equal.
