Given:


2(x+9)\text{ = 2x + 18}

To find:

the name of the property stated


\begin{gathered} 2(x\text{ + 9\rparen = 2\lparen x\rparen + 2\lparen9\rparen} \\ \\ The\text{ form above is the same as:} \\ a(b\text{ + c\rparen = }a(b)\text{ + a\lparen c\rparen} \\ This\text{ is known as distributive property.} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 2(x)\text{ + 2\lparen9\rparen = 2x + 18} \\ \\ Hence,\text{ 2\lparen x + 9\rparen = 2x + 18 is a distributive property} \end{gathered}
