Question

Janeen wants to use the distributive property to find the value of 14⋅26+14⋅53. Which expression can she use?

Answer 1

14 * 26 + 14 * 53 = 14 * (26 + 53) <==

Answer 2

D.
`14\cdot (26+53)`

Explanation:

We have been given that Janeen wants to use the distributive property to find the value of
`14\cdot 26+14\cdot 53`. We are asked to find the expression Janeen can use.

We know that distributive property is
`a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c`.

Upon factoring out 14 from our given expression we will get,

`14\cdot (26+53)`

Therefore, Janeen can use the expression
`14\cdot (26+53)` to find the value of
`14\cdot 26+14\cdot 53` and option D is the correct choice.
