Show how you can use the distributive property to solve 7(499) with mental math.

Hi,

One option is to solve it like this:
7(499)= 7(400) + 7(90) + 7(9) = 2800 + 630 + 63 = 3493

Or,
7(499)= 7(500) - 7(1) = 3500 - 7 = 3493

Hope this helps! If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.
