Answer:
5(10+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]12 \times 5[/tex]
Because multiplication is commutative the above ,can be rewritten as
[tex]5 \times 12[/tex]
We now choose any two numbers (say 2 and10) that sum up to 12, put it in bracket and multiply by 5.
This implies that,
[tex]5(10 + 2)[/tex]
using distributive property, we obtain
5(10)+5(2)
=50+10
=60
We can see that the product of 5 and 12 equals 5(10+2)
Hence the distributive property is 5(10+2)
