Question

2x - 2y = 2(x - y) Name the property that justifies the given statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

Distributive property (Reversed)

Step-by-step explanation:

With the distributive property, it is possible to simplify expressions that consist of an expression term such as (a + b) being multiplied by one singular term such as c given as follows

c ×(a + b) = c·a + c·b

Factoring, which is the reverse  use of the distributive property enables the difference or the sum of two products, each having a common factor to be the presented as the difference  or the sum of two numbers multiplied by the common factor as follows;

2·x - 2·y = 2·(x - y).
