Answer explanation

Using the distributive property, we can break down 3 x 14 as 3 x (10 + 4). This gives us 3 x 10 + 3 x 4 = 30 + 12 = 42. Therefore, the product is 42.

Answer explanation

The correct choice uses the distributive property accurately: (30 + 6) × 6 is expanded to (30 × 6) + (6 × 6). This shows that you multiply each term inside the parentheses by 6, which is the essence of the distributive property.
