Question

What property justifies that 6x+9/3=2x+3? A. Commutative Property of Addition B. Commutative Property of Multiplication C. Distributive Property D. Addition of Like Terms

Answer 1

Answer:

OPTION C - Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $\frac{6x + 9}{3}$

This is equal to: $\frac{6x}{3} + \frac{9}{3}$

⇒ $2x + 3$

Here, $3$ is distributed over each term. Hence, distributive property is used.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

      $\frac{6x+ 9}{3}$ =  $\frac{6x}{3} + \frac{9}{3}$     (distributive property of the denominator)

             = 2x + 3

The denominator in the question is distributive over the two terms in the numerator.
