Answer 2

C) distributive property

Explanation:

3(x – 7) = 2 – x

first step is:

• 3(x-7)= 3x -3*7

this is called distributive property

To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something. According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together
