Question

Which of the following demonstrates the Distributive Property? 4(2a + 3) = 8a + 3 4(2a + 3) = 2a + 12 4(2a + 3) = 6a + 7 4(2a + 3) = 8a + 12

Answer 1

The answer is 8a + 12

here's my work

4(2a + 3)

4 times 2a is 8a

then 4 times 3 is 12

Answer 2

4(2a + 3) = 8a + 12 .

Explanation:

Given : 4(2a + 3) .

To find : Which of the following demonstrates the Distributive Property.

Solution : We have given 4(2a + 3) .

Distributive property : x( y+ z) = x * y + x * z.

Then

4(2a + 3) = 4 * 2a + 4 * 3.

4(2a + 3) = 8a + 12 .

Therefore, 4(2a + 3) = 8a + 12 .
