Question

Select the property that allows the left member of the equation to be changed to the right member.

a (b + c ) = ab + ac

Answer 1

8 + 0 = 8: identity- addition (any number + 0= that number) 
a(b + c) = ab + ac: distributive (multiplying a on the left-hand side of the equation by the numbers in parenthesis gives you the right-hand side of the equation) 
b + a = a + b: commutative- addition (numbers can be added in any order and still produce the same answer) 
If 2 = x, then x = 2: symmetric (if a = b then b = a) 
x(10) to be written 10x: commutative- multiplication (numbers can be multiplied in any order and still produce the same result)

Answer 2

The property that allows the left member of the equation to be changed to the right member is the distributive property of equation

How to determine the property?

The equation is given as:

a(b +c) = ab + ac

The distributive property of the equation states that:

x(y + z) = xy + xz

Substitute a for x, b for y and c for z.

a(b +c) = ab + ac

This means that the property applied to the equation is the distributive property of equation
