18. Which correctly applies the distributive property?
O2(2+3) = 6 – 2
O2(x + 3) = 2x+6
O2(x + 3) = 6x
O2(2 + 3) = 2r/3​

Answer:

  • Option B

==========================

The distributive property is:

  • a(b + c) = ab + ac

Apply this to the options:

  • A) 2(2 + 3) = 2*2 + 2*3 = 4 + 6, not matching, no;

  • B) 2(x + 3) = 2x + 2*3 = 2x + 6, matching, yes;

  • C) 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6, as above, not matching, no;

  • D) 2(2 + 3) = 4 + 6, not matching, no.
