Evaluate using a suitable property: (-5/12 × 3/7 ) + (-5/12 × 4/7 ). Name the property and give the value.

Distributive; -5/12. Take out the common factor: -5/12 × (3/7 + 4/7 ) = -5/12 × 1 = -5/12. This uses distributivity.

Evaluate using a suitable property:
$(- \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{3}{7}) + (- \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{4}{7})$ .
Name the property and give the value.

Take out the common factor:

- \frac{5}{12} \times (\frac{3}{7} + \frac{4}{7}) = - \frac{5}{12} \times 1 = - \frac{5}{12}

. This uses distributivity.

Answer: A) Distributive;

- \frac{5}{12}
