Question

The next step in the solution for which equation could use the distributive property?


A. 4(t-6)=3t+9

B. 4•(t•6)=3t+9

C. 4t-6+3t=9

D. 4•t•1/4=3t+9

Answer 1

Hello there!


The correct answer is option A, because:

4(t - 6)
Use the distributive property

(4)(t) + (4)(-6)

So yeah, this is how the distributive property works.

Option A is the only option that works with the distributive property.
