Use the distributive property to write the next step in simplifying the equation. Use the asterisk symbol (*) to represent multiplication. Do not multiply factors fully and do not use spaces. x(4+5) = 54​

Given:

The equation is:

To find:

The next step in simplifying the equation by using distributive property.

Solution:

Distributive property: According to this property if a, b and c are three real numbers, then

We have,

Using the distributive property, we get

It can be written as:

Therefore, the next step of the simplification is .
