Question

Name the property for the given statement. (4 – 6)(3) = (4)(3) – (6)(3) A. addition property of equality B. distributive property C. multiplication property of equality D. subtraction property of equality

Answer 1

B) distributive property

Explanation:

We need to identify the property that is used in the following expression.

(4 – 6)(3) = (4)(3) – (6)(3)

Here 3 is distributed with 4 and 6.

The distributive property is a(b -c) = a*b - a*c

Here you can see a is distributed with b and c.

In the given expression 4 is distributed with 3 and 6.

Therefore, the answer is B) distributive property.

Answer 2

(4 – 6)(3) = (4)(3) – (6)(3)

This is the distributive property because we are distributing the 3 to both the 4 and the 6
