The distributive property is used to rewrite 2(a+5)- 4 as 2a+6. Option(1) is correct.
The distributive Property states that when a factor is multiplied by the sum/addition of two terms, each of the two numbers must be multiplied by the factor before performing the addition operation.
A(B + C) = AB + BC. This shows that A is distributed over C.
For example, if we use the distributive property of multiplication to solve the expression 5(2 + 6), we get the following solution: 5(2 + 6) = (5 × 2) + (5 × 6) = 10 + 30 = 40.
Given the expression
2(a + 5) - 4
Distribute 2 over a and 5 to get:
2a + 2(5) - 4
2a + 10 - 4
2a +6
Hence the distributive property is used to rewrite 2(a+5)- 4 as 2a+6
