Question

Q2: a(b + c) = ab + ac is (a)commutative property (b) distributive property (c) associative property (d) closure property​

Answer 1

(b) distributive property

Explanation:

When you multiply a number (a) by a sum of two other numbers (b + c), you can distribute the multiplication across the sum and get the same result as if you had multiplied a by each of the two numbers (b and c) separately, and then added the two products together.

For example, if a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4, then:

2 x (3 + 4) = 2 x 7 = 14

and

(2 x 3) + (2 x 4) = 6 + 8 = 14

so the distributive property holds in this case.
