Question

7(8+2) = 7(8)+7(2). This is a example of the ______ property of multiplication

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the distributive property of multiplication states that:

$a (b + c) = ab + ac$

So, if we have the following expression:

$7 (8 + 2) = 7 * 8 + 7 * 2$

Then, the example given is a case of distributive property of multiplication.

Answer:

Distributive property of multiplication

Answer 2

Answer:

Distributive

Step-by-step explanation:

In any problem with a form of A(b+c) you are distributing the A to both b and c

As you can see in your example, you are distributing the 7 to both the 8 and the two

If you were to solve this problem the final answer would be 70

The property is Distributive
