Question

Which of the following uses the distributive property correctly?

Answer 1

Answer: A

You’re basically adding m - 2 nine times
So it’s 9m - 18
Or 9m - 9(2)

Answer 2

Answer:

9(m – 2) = 9(m) – 9(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property:

a(b - c) = ab - ac

            $\Downarrow$

9(m - 2) = (9)(m) - (9)(2)
