Question

Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation. -4(x + 4) = -4x – 16 O A. Associative Property of Addition B. Commutative Property of Addition OC. Associative Property of Multiplication O D. Distributive Property

Answer 1

we are given the following relationship:

`-4(x+4)=-4x-16`

Let's remember that the distributive property for addition is the following:

`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Therefore, the property that was used was the distributive property of multiplication.
