Answer:

The missing number: 6

The property used: Distributive Property of Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the below;


10\cdot(2+6)=(10\cdot2)+(10\cdot x)

The below shows an example of the distributive property of multiplication;


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

Applying the distributive property in the given equation, we can see that;


x=6

So the missing number is 6 and the equation can be written as;


10*(2+6)=(10\cdot2)+(10\cdot6)
