Question

While 4(x+2) =28,Becca wrote 4x+8=28. Which property did she use.

Answer 1

The answer is [ Distributive Property ]

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac

What Becca did was use this rule to simplify the left side of the equation.

4(x + 2) → (4 * x) + (4 * 2) → 4x + 8

Best of Luck!
