Evaluate the Expression: Finding the Value of 14X3

Question

Which expression is the exercise 14X3equal to?

00:00 Find the equivalent expression

00:03 Use the distributive law

00:07 Break down 14 to 15 minus 1

00:11 Multiply each factor and then subtract

00:26 And this is the solution to the question

We begin by breaking down the 14 into a subtraction exercise:

$(15-1)\times3=$

Next we multiply each of the numbers inside of the parentheses by 3:

$(15\times3)-(1\times3)=$

We can already discard option A and option D since the solution must contain 15x3.

Lastly we solve the parenthesis on the right side of the equation and obtain the following:

$15\times3-3$

Therefore, the answer is C.

15X3 and we subtract 3
