Answer:
Ah, this is an example of the distribution property, as you would need to distribute the 5 to the 8 and 3. Here's the step-by-step process:
[tex]5(8+3)[/tex]
Let's first multiply the 5 and 8
[tex]5(8)=40[/tex]
Now, the 5 and 3
[tex]5(3)=15[/tex]
We now have two whole numbers, and therefore our answer:
40 + 15
