Question

Which property does the equation

24 (70 + 5) = 24 (70) + 24 (5)
illustrate?
A associative
B commutative
C distributive
D identity

Answer 1

This would be the distributive property because:

a (b + c) = ab + ac


'a' multiplied by the quantity of '(b + c)'

is equal to

'a' times 'b' + 'a' times 'c'


The answer you are looking for is C)Distributive Property

Answer 2

A(B + C) = A(B) + A(C) is a distributive property.

So:

24(70 + 5) = 24(70) + 24(5) is also a distributive property.

Option C.
