for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:

step-by-step explanation:

consider the parallelogram shown in the attached image.

in the parallelogram hijk, the length of hk is given as,

from the properties of parallelogram we know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other and are equal in measure.

therefore, the length of the side ij must be equal to the length of the side hk and that is .

hence, the expression for the length of ij confirms that hijk is a parallelogram.

6-3=3

3*3=9

9+12=21

21/3=7

7*8=56

56 is your answer
