Question

6. Which property is illustrated by the equation
ma + mb = m(a + b)?
what’s the answer

Answer 1

Explanation:

It's the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

m(a + b) = ma + mb

`m\cdot(a+b)=m\cdot a+m\cdot b=ma+mb`

Other properties:

Commutative Property:

of addition: a + b = b + a

of multiplication: a · b = b · a

Associative Property:

of addition: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

of multiplication: (a · b) · c = a · (b · c)
