Question

what type of property is 2 × (6+4) = 2 × 6 + 2×4

Answer 1

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in the question,  2(6 + 4) we can solve it in two ways.

First way is to solve using PEMDAS, which is to solve the parenthesis first, and then the addition. However, this time, we see that the next step is 2(6) + 2(4), which suggests distributive property, which states that the multiplying number on the outside of the parenthesis is distributed to all terms within the parenthesis.
