Question

Choose a number sentence is that illustrates distribute property of multiplication over addition 2×7+8 = 2+7×2+8

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

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

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

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

Required

Which illustrates distributive property of multiplication over addition

The property states that:

$a(b + c) = a * b + a * c$

By comparison

$a = 2\ b = 7\ c = 8$

So, we have"

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

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