Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

D is the answer because you need the 5 to be next to the number in parenthesis.

C is the not the answer because when there is a minus sign with a number in front of the parenthesis, the numbers in the parenthesis will bave to be solved instead of distributed.

B is not the answer because there are not even parenthesis to empasise the distibution.

A is not the asnwer because the numbers are simply being canceled out into the number 1 with a fraction and a whole number.

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property is when you want to apply to FOIL method when you are multiplying out the expression. You would have multiple number/terms to multiply out to. The only answer choice that shows this is D.

In D, you are distributing the 5 to 8 and -2. So, you are multiplying 5×8=40 and 5×-2=-10. Then you have 40-10.

A is just multiplying, 5 and 1/5.

B is just multiplying 5 and 1.

C is just Associative Property, changing the parenthesis.

D shows Distributive Property.
