Question

What property is 8(6)-8(1)=8(6-1)

Answer 1

Distributive Property

Explanation:

if you divide both sides by 8 you will get 5=5

Answer 2

Distributive Property

Explanation:

It states that:-

`\displaystyle \large{a(b + c) = ab + ac}`

You can also common factor out a-term and it will become a(b+c).

For 8(6-1), use distributive property which yields:-

8(6)-8(1) = 48-8 = 40

The property is also associated with Common Factor too.

To say it simply, you multiply entire expression b+c with a-term and yields ab+ac.
