Understand the problem

Which equation is the same as the following?

(400+20)×(4+1) (400+20)\times(4+1)

2

Step-by-step solution

Let's consider that each set of parentheses represent a number.

That is, if we solve the exercises within parentheses we will obtain a multiplication exercise of two numbers.

We solve each of the exercises within parentheses to reveal what the numbers are:

400+20=420 400+20=420

4+1=5 4+1=5

That is, the exercise we obtained is the multiplication between two numbers:

420×5 420\times5

Final Answer

420×5 420\times5
