Answer: Distributive.

Explanation:

The distributive property states that an expression which is given in form of A (B + C) can be solved as A × (B + C) = AB + AC. THIS EXAMPLE IS IN THIS GIVEN FORM. YOU DISTRIBUTE THE 2 INTO 3 and 4, multiplying 3 and 4 both by 2.

The commutative property states that the change in the order of two numbers in an addition or multiplication operation does not change the sum or the product.

a×b=b×a

The associative property states that the sum or the product of three or more numbers does not change if they are grouped in a different way.

(a×b)×c= a×(b×c)
