Task Some people define 3x Sas 5 +54 5, which has a value of 15. 4. If we use the same definition far multiplication, what should the value of 3x (=5) be? b. Here is an example of the distributive property. BMS EH H3KS HIRE {the distributive property works for both positive and negative ‘numbers, what expression would be equivalent to-3 x (S + (—$))? If we use the fact that $ + (—S)=0 and 3» $= 1S, what should the value of 3x (5) be? © We can multiply positive numbers in any order: SxSaSx3 (Use what you keiow from parts (a) and (b). if we can shuipty signed ‘eumbers in any order, what should the value of (—5) x 3 be? If the distributive property works for both positive and negative ‘sumbers, what expression wauld be equivalent to(—S) x (3 + (3)? Use what you know from parts (a), (b), and {c). What should the valve of (5) x (3) be? Task ‘The three seventh grade classes at Sunview Middie School collected the most boxtops for a school fundraiser, and so they won a $650 prize t0 share among ther.
