6 * __ = 3 * 7 + ( __ * 7 )
Show your work
To find the missing factors using the Distributive Property, we can distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
6 * __ = 3 * 7 + (__ * 7)
6 * __ = 21 + (__ * 7)
Now we can simplify the equation by performing the multiplication:
6 * __ = 21 + 7 * __
Let's replace the empty spaces with variables to solve for them:
6 * x = 21 + 7 * y
The equation is now ready to be solved.
Now what are the missing numbers
To find the missing numbers, we'll need additional information or equations. The equation 6 * x = 21 + 7 * y does not provide enough information to directly solve for the missing values of x and y.
If there were more equations or information given, please provide it so that we can solve for the missing numbers.
To find the missing factors using the Distributive Property, we can express the equation as:
6 * x = 3 * 7 + (x * 7)
First, let's simplify the equation on the right side:
6 * x = 21 + 7 * x
Next, we can use the Distributive Property by multiplying 7 and x:
6 * x = 21 + 7x
To solve for x, we need to isolate the x term on one side. Let's subtract 7x from both sides of the equation:
6 * x - 7 * x = 21 + 7x - 7x
Simplifying further:
-x = 21
Finally, we want to solve for x, so let's multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to remove the negative sign:
x = -21
Therefore, the missing factors are:
6 * -21 = 3 * 7 + (-21 * 7)
To use the Distributive Property, we need to distribute the multiplier to each term inside the parentheses.
First, we want to find the missing factor for "6 * __," so let's focus on that part.
The given equation is:
6 * __ = 3 * 7 + ( __ * 7 )
To distribute the 3 to 7, we can rewrite it as:
6 * __ = (3 * 7) + ( __ * 7 )
Now, evaluate the multiplication on both sides of the equation:
6 * __ = 21 + ( __ * 7 )
Next, let's distribute the multiplier of 7 to the second set of parentheses. We have:
6 * __ = 21 + ( __ * 7 )
6 * __ = 21 + 7 * __
To simplify further, we can rewrite it as:
6 * __ = 21 + 7 * __
6 * __ = 21 + 7__
Now, we have two expressions with the missing factors:
6 * __ = 21 + 7__
To find the missing factors, we can look at the equation and see that the left side is 6 times some number, and the right side is 21 plus 7 times another number.
Let's compare the equation with the missing factors:
6 * __ = 21 + 7__
Since the left side is 6 times some number, and the right side is 21 plus 7 times another number, we can set up an equation:
6 * x = 21 + 7y
Now, we can solve this equation to find the missing factors.
