Answer:

associative property of multiplication

Explanation:

If we have 3 numbers x, y and z the associative property of multiplication says that:


x (yz) = z (xy) = (xz)y

This means that the result will be the same regardless of the order in which the multiplication takes place.

In this case we have the following equality


2(xy) = (2x)y

Note that the property used is the associative property of multiplication
