A. Identity Property
C. Associative Property
B. Distributive Property
D. Commutative Property

Answer 1

B. Distributive Property

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Distributive Property of Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation shows that two similar expressions are equal to each other.

How? Well, they both equal 16 to start. These are the same expressions - one is just distributed out!

$2 \cdot (5 + 3) \\2 \cdot 5 + 2 \cdot3 \\10 + 6 = 16$

and...

$5 \cdot 2 + 3 \cdot 2\\10 + 6\\16$

In the equations, the only difference is that we distributive 2 and multiplied in by 5 and 3!
