Question

Which equation demonstrates the distributive property? A) 15 + 40 = 55 Eliminate B) 15 x 40 = 40 x 15 C) (3 + 8)5 = 5(3 + 8) D) 15 + 40 = 5(3 + 8)

Answer 1

That would be equation D

Answer 2

Your answer is D, because in the left equation, the 5 is located outside the parenthesis, and once it is distributed, you will get the first equation.

5 x 3 =15
5 x 8 = 40

Hope this helps
