Which steps show how to use the distributive property to evaluate 9 - 32? A. 9(32) = 9(30 + 2) = 9.30 + 9 - 2 = 270 + 18 = 288 0 B. 9(32) = 9(30 + 2) = 9 - 30 + 30 - 2 = 270 + 60 = 330 OC. 9(32) = 9(30 + 2) = 9.30 – 9.2 = 270 – 18 = 252 O D. 9(32) = 9(30 + 2) = 9.30 + 2 = 270 + 2 = 272

to find the distribution of


9\cdot32

rewrite 32 as an addition


32=30+2

rewrite the product


9\cdot(30+2)

distribute the 9


\begin{gathered} 9\cdot30=270 \\ 9\cdot2=18 \\ \\ 9\cdot(30+2)=9\cdot30+9\cdot2 \\ 9\cdot(30+2)=270+18 \\ 9\cdot32=288 \end{gathered}
