Find the product, using suitable properties:
$26 \times(-48)+(-48)\times(-36)$
Given: $26 \times(-48)+(-48)\times(-36)$
To do: Find the product using suitable property
Solution:
The question is of the form $a \times b + b \times c$, where $a = 26 \ and \ b = (-48), c = -36$
First let us use Commutative property to write $a \times b = b \times a$.
This makes it easy for solving
so,$ 26 \times(-48)+(-48)\times(-36) = (-48)\times26 +(-48)\times(-36)$
Now, this is of the form $b \times a + b \times c$.
Now let us use Distributive property of multiplication to write
$b \times a + b \times c = b \times (a + c)$
So, $(-48)\times26 +(-48)\times(-36) = (-48)\times(26 + (- 36))$
= $(- 48)\times (-10)$
=$ 480$
