What can we do to multiply a number by a sum?

H

Practice makes perfect

We are asked to figure out which Property of Operations is shown by the given equation. To do so, let's take a closer look at the equation. 4x+32=4(x+8) In this case, the product of a number and a parenthetical factor is equal to the sum of the products of the number and each term inside the parentheses. This is the Distributive Property.

4x+32=4(x+8)

Distribute 4

4x+32=4(x)+4(8)

Multiply

4x+32=4x+32

This means that the correct option is H.
