7. Let us take 2 examples to show that the distributive law holds in case ofmultiplication but does not hold for division of integers.​

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

For Multiplication CASE: CASE 1

5(3 + 8) = 5*3 + 5*8 (ACCORDING to distributive LAW)

LHS:        RHS:

5 * 11        15 + 40

= 55         55

Therefore, LHS = RHS Hence Verified

For DIVISION Case : CASE 2

5/ (3+8) = 5/3 + 5/8 (According to distributive law)

LHS:            RHS:

5/11              40 + 15 / 24

=0.4545      = 55/24

Therefore, LHS ≠ RHS

From CASE 1 and CASE 2, we can conclude that the distributive law holds in the case of  multiplication but does not hold for the division of integers.​
