to
8.53 – 2 (2x + 8) =?
-
A
О
4.52 + 16 = 11.5
B
O
4.5x + 27 = -9
С
O
4.5x - 16 = 11
D
-4.52 +27 = 45

Answer 1

C

1) The distributive property allows us to rewrite some product in factors.

2) Let's then examine that equation:

`\begin{gathered} 8.5x-2(2x+8)=\text{?} \\ 8.5x-4x-16= \\ 4.5x-16 \end{gathered}`

3) Then examining the options, the only option that displays the correct application of the Distributive Property on the left side is: C
