Question

Which shows the use of the distributive property? 3 x + 8 minus 2 x = 3 x minus 2 x + 8 4 c + 3 c minus 7 = (4 + 3) c minus 7 4 x + (5 x + 2) = (4 x + 5 x) + 2 (4 + 3) c minus 7 = 7 c minus 7

Answer 1

4 c + 3 c minus 7 = (4 + 3) c minus 7

Explanation:

(4 + 3)c - 7

(4)c + (3)c - 7

4c + 3c - 7

Answer 2

4 c + 3 c minus 7 = (4 + 3) c minus 7

Explanation:

This distributive property distributes a number or variable across the parentheses

3 x + 8 minus 2 x = 3 x minus 2 x + 8

no

4 c + 3 c minus 7 = (4 + 3) c minus 7

yes The c is distributed across the 4 and the 3 inside the parentheses

4 x + (5 x + 2) = (4 x + 5 x) + 2

no

(4 + 3) c minus 7 = 7 c minus 7

no the 4 and 3 are added inside the parentheses
