Question

The property that justifies the sentence 6a2 + 2a = 2a(3a + 1) is

Answer 1

Answer:

The distributive property states that multiply the term outside of the parenthesis by each term in that parenthesis. i.e,

$a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

As per the given statement:

$6a^2+2a = 2a(3a+1)$

Take RHS:

$2a(3a+1)$

Apply the distributive property; we have;

$6a^2+2a$ = LHS

Therefore, the property that justifies the sentence $6a^2+2a = 2a(3a+1)$ is Distributive property
