Question

Janeen wants to use the distributive property to find the value of 14⋅26+14⋅53. Which expression can she use?

Answer 1

14 * 26 + 14 * 53 = 14 * (26 + 53) <==

Answer 2

Answer:

D. $14\cdot (26+53)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Janeen wants to use the distributive property to find the value of $14\cdot 26+14\cdot 53$. We are asked to find the expression Janeen can use.

We know that distributive property is $a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c$.

Upon factoring out 14 from our given expression we will get,

$14\cdot (26+53)$

Therefore, Janeen can use the expression $14\cdot (26+53)$ to find the value of $14\cdot 26+14\cdot 53$ and option D is the correct choice.
