Answer

We have

(-10) x {(-7) + (-9)} = {(-10) x (-7)} + {(-10) x (-9)}

LHS = (-10) x {(-7) + (-9)}
=(-10) x {-16}
= 160
RHS = {(-10) x (-7)} + {(-10) x (-9)}
= 70 + 90
= 160

Since LHS = RHS,

∴ (-10) x {(-7) + (-9)} = {(-10) x (-7)} + {(-10) x (-9)} \hspace{1.5cm}[a x {b + c} = {a x b} + {a x c} ⇒ Distributive Property of multiplication over addition.]
