I have to fill in the blank to make the following statement true by applying the distributive property of the real numbers
The problem is
5 ( 11 + d) = ________________
I am thinking it is
5 * 11 + d, but I am not for sure

The distributive Property
5(11 + d) = 0
55 + 5d = 0
55 + 5d - 55 = 0 - 55
5d = - 55
5d / 5 = - 55 / 5
d = - 55/5
d = - 11

5*11 + 5*d=
55 + 5d=
you have to distribute the 5 to the 11 and the d

5*11 + 5d = 55 +5d
you should distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parenthesis

distributive law says:
A (B + C) = AB + AC
so, 5 (11 + d) = 5*11 = 5*d
= 55 + 5d

you have to use the distributive property
5(11+d)
5*11 + 5*d
answer=55+5d

5*11 + 5*d = 55 + 5d
Divide by 5, leaving 11=d
Right? I think thats right.
