e)xyac+xydf

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

the distributive property states that multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together


a(b+c)=ab+ac

so

Step 1


(xy)(ac+df)

use the distributive property to expand


\begin{gathered} (xy)(ac+df) \\ (xy)(ac+df)=(xy)(ac)+(xy)(df) \\ (xy)(ac+df)=xyac+xydf \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is


e)xyac+xydf

e. xyac + xydf

I hope this helps you
