Answer 1

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 2 + 6 + 2y

= 5y + 2(y + 3) + 2 This is the distributive property of multiplication w.r.t. addition

= 6y − y + 2y + 10 − 4 + 2

The distributive property of multiplication with respect to addition  is the one  which separates each term by using multiplication and then addition.

So we see that 2 is multiplied with y and 3 and then added with the like terms. If there was a minus sign the property would be distributive over subtraction.
