Which of the following demonstrates the Distributive Property?
2(3a + 4) = 6a + 4
2(3a + 4) = 3a + 8
2(3a + 4) = 6a + 8
2(3a + 4) = 5a + 6

Respuesta :

2(3a+4)=6a+8 demonstrates the distributive property.

Answer:

Option 3rd is correct

[tex]2(3a + 4) = 6a +8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

[tex]a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c[/tex]

To find which of the following demonstrate the distributive property:

The expression:

[tex]2 \cdot (3a+4)[/tex]

Apply the distributive property we have;

[tex]2 \cdot 3a+ 2 \cdot 4[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]6a+8[/tex]

Therefore, the only option 3rd follows the Distributive Property i.e,

[tex]2(3a + 4) = 6a +8[/tex]
