Answer:

Option A is correct

$2 \cdot (17+8)$

Explanation:

The distributive property says that:

$a \cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

Given the expression:

34 + 16

We can write this as:

$2 \cdot 17+ 2 \cdot 8$

Apply distributive property we have

⇒
$2 \cdot (17+8)$

Therefore, the distributive property, an expression equivalent to 34 + 16 is,
$2 \cdot (17+8)$
