alleryWhich property lets us write 6 x (4 + 3) as (6 x 4) + (6 x 3)?
ACommutative property
BClosure property
CAssociative property
DDistributive property
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Distributive property
1. The rule a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c) is the distribution law.
2. Here a = 6, b = 4, c = 3, and both sides equal 42.
3. Commutative swaps the order of numbers, and associative regroups them, so they do not apply.
