Question

Which statement illustrates the distributive property?
O3(4+5)=3(4)+5
O 3(4+5)= 3(4)+3(5)
O 3[(4)(5)] = 3(4) +3(5)
O 3[(4)(5)] [3(4)] [3(5)]

Answer 1

Answer: 3(4 + 5) = 3(4) + 3(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

     First of all, both 3(4+5) and 3(4)+3(5) simplify to 27 so they are equal.

     The distributive property is multiplying the sum of addends by a number to get the same result (equivalent) as multiplying each addend individually, then adding the products together. In numbers;

           3(4 + 5) = 3 * 4 + 3 * 5

     This means the answer to your question is most likely the second option.
