1. 5 × (7 + 3) = 5 × 10 = 50 also: (5 × 7) + (5 × 3) = 35 + 15 = 50
2. 9 × (4 + 2) = 9 × 6 = 54 also: (9 × 4) + (9 × 2) = 36 + 18 = 54
3. (3 × 8) + (3 × 7) = 24 + 21 = 45 also: 3 × (8 + 7) = 3 × 15 = 45
4. (5 × 5) + (5 × 2) = 25 + 10 = 35 also: 5 × (5 + 2) = 5 × 7 = 35
5. 2 × (6 + 3) = 2 × 9 = 18 also: (2 × 6) + (2 × 3) = 12 + 6 = 18
6. (8 × 3) - (8 × 1) = 24 - 8 = 16 also: 8 × (3 - 1) = 8 × 2 = 16
7. 7 × (9 - 4) = 7 × 5 = 35 also: (7 × 9) - (7 × 4) = 63 - 28 = 35
8. 4 × (4 - 2) = 4 × 2 = 8 also: (4 × 4) - (4 × 2) = 16 - 8 = 8
9. (2 × 2) - (2 × 1) = 4 - 2 = 2 also: 2 × (2 - 1) = 2 × 1 = 2
10. 9 × (3 - 1) = 9 × 2 = 18 also: (9 × 3) - (9 × 1) = 27 - 9 = 18
