Verify the property: x × (y + z) = x × y + x × z by taking: \( x = \dfrac{-8}{3}, y = \dfrac{5}{6}, z = \dfrac{-13}{12}\)

Solution :-

By using the property

x × (y + z) = x × y + x × z

\( \dfrac{-8}{3} × ( \dfrac{5}{6} + \dfrac{-13}{12}) = \dfrac{-8}{3} × \dfrac{5}{6} + \dfrac{-8}{3} × \dfrac{-13}{12}\)

\(\dfrac{ -8}{3} × \dfrac{((5×2) – (13×1)}{12}\)

\( = \dfrac{(-8×5)}{(3×6)} +\dfrac{ (-8×-13)}{(3×12}\)

\(\dfrac{ -8}{3} × \dfrac{(10-13)}{12} = \dfrac{-40}{18} + \dfrac{104}{36}\)

\(\dfrac{ -8}{3} × \dfrac{-3}{12} = \dfrac{(-40×2 + 104×1)}{36}\)

\(\dfrac{ 2}{3} = \dfrac{(-80+104)}{36}\)

\( \dfrac{ 24}{36}\)

\( \dfrac{ 2}{3}\)

Hence, the property is verified.
