Answer:

Distributive Property

Explanation:

If the given statement is

5(72 – 3y) = 360– 15y

When we apply the distributive property to the left hand side we get;


5(72 - 3y) = 5 * 72 - 5 * 3y

When we simplify we get


5(72 - 3y) =360- 15y

Therefore the distributive property justifies the given statement.
