Answer:

state statutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually, if the LLC's operating agreement didn't specify how the profit would be distributed, state statutes determine that the profits must be divided equally among members.

LLC are separate entities form their owners, they are authorized and created by the state's statutes, and they become legal entities in the state where they have their offices and operate.
