Use the Distributive Property to find 3(13+5) written as an equivalent expression.

54 or as an expression (3 * 13) + (3 * 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

To distribute means to break the parenthesis apart.  To make two different combinations.

3(13 + 5)

(3 * 13) + (3 * 5)

Step 2:  Multiply it out

(3 * 13) + (3 * 5)

39 + 15

54

 54 or as an expression (3 * 13) + (3 * 5)

39 + 15

Step-by-step explanation: 3(13 + 5) can be simplified by distributing the 3 through both terms that are inside the parentheses.

So we have 3(13) + 3(5) which simplifies to 39 + 15 or 54.

So 3(13) + 3(5) is an equivalent.
