Which of the following statements shows the distributive property?5(4 – 2) = 20 – 105 + (4 – 2) = 20 – 105(4 – 2) = 9 – 75 + (4 – 2) = 9 + 3

Respuesta :

Distributive property of multiplication over subtraction

[tex]a\times(b-c)=a\times b-a\times c[/tex]

where a, b, and c are some numbers.

Substituting with a = 5, b = 4, and c = 2, we get:

[tex]5\times(4-2)=5\times4-5\times2=20-10[/tex]
