Using break apart and distribute strategy, Steven's work can be the following steps:

  • [tex]7 \times 3 = 7 \times (1 + 2)[/tex].
  • [tex]7 \times 3 = 7 \times 1 + 7 \times 2[/tex].
  • [tex]7 \times 3 = 7 + 14[/tex].
  • [tex]7 \times 3 = 21[/tex]

The expression is given as:

[tex]7 \times 3[/tex]

Using the break apart and distribute strategy

3 can be break into 1 + 2

So, we have:

[tex]7 \times 3 = 7 \times (1 + 2)[/tex]

Distribute

[tex]7 \times 3 = 7 \times 1 + 7 \times 2[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]7 \times 3 = 7 + 14[/tex]

[tex]7 \times 3 = 21[/tex]
