Answer:
Distributive Property
Step-by-step explanation:
If the given statement is
5(72 – 3y) = 360– 15y
When we apply the distributive property to the left hand side we get;
[tex]5(72 - 3y) = 5 \times 72 - 5 \times 3y[/tex]
When we simplify we get
[tex]5(72 - 3y) =360- 15y[/tex]
Therefore the distributive property justifies the given statement.
