Question

$$5\times[4+(-6)]=5\times4-(5)\times(-6)$$

Verify

$\text{false}$

Solution Steps

Subtract $6$ from $4$ to get $-2$.

$$5\left(-2\right)=5\times 4-5\left(-6\right)$$

Multiply $5$ and $-2$ to get $-10$.

$$-10=5\times 4-5\left(-6\right)$$

Multiply $5$ and $4$ to get $20$.

$$-10=20-5\left(-6\right)$$

Multiply $5$ and $-6$ to get $-30$.

$$-10=20-\left(-30\right)$$

The opposite of $-30$ is $30$.

$$-10=20+30$$

Add $20$ and $30$ to get $50$.

$$-10=50$$

Compare $-10$ and $50$.

$$\text{false}$$
