The distributive property of multiplication states that

A(B + C) = A * B + A * C

This means that each term inside the bracket is multiplied by the term outside. Looking at the given expression,

6 * 4 = 24

6 * 7 = 42

Thus, we can say that the property used in the expression is

distributive property
