Determine which equation shows distributive property.

• 8(10-2) = 8(10) - 8(2)

• 8(10-2) = 8(10) + 8(2)

• 8(10-2) = 8(10) x 8(2)

• 8(10-2) = (8x10)-2

Simplify   2(3x + 5)

Tags

CCSS.6.EE.A.3

Answer explanation

To simplify the expression, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2(3x) + 2(4) + x = 6x + 8 + x = 7x + 8. Therefore, the correct choice is 7x + 8.
