Which equation correctly demonstrates the distributive property?

A. 16(3j - 4k) = 48j - 4k B. 30(3a + 2b) = 90a + 60b C. 7(6c - 4d) = 14cd D. 4(2f + 5g) = 28fg

B. 30(3a+2b). This is because when distributing, you don't multiply anything unless there is an original multiplication sign. However, that is not the case in choices C and D. In answer choice A, 16 was not distributed to -4k.
