Hey there!

The distributive property is when you take one number and multiply by a quantity within parentheses and once multiplied and out of the parentheses it is the same value.

A is a simple addition problem.

C shows the associative property

D shows the commutative and associative property.

B shows that an expanded value is the same as something multiplied by something else in parentheses. Therefore, the answer is B.

I hope this helps!
