Respuesta :

Answer:

The equivalent sum is [tex]100 + 83[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Hector must use the Distributive Property to make calculations quicker:

[tex]50 + 83 + 50[/tex] (Given)

[tex]50 + 50 + 83[/tex] (Conmutative Property)

[tex]50 \times (1+1) + 83[/tex] (Distributive Property)

[tex]50 \times 2 + 83[/tex] (Distributive Property)

[tex]2\times 50 + 83[/tex] (Conmutative Property)

[tex]100 + 83[/tex] (Multiplication)

[tex]183[/tex] (Sum)

The equivalent sum is [tex]100 + 83[/tex].

Answer: Your answer would be the distributive property
