Question

Which options could be the next step in simplifying this expression?

5 • (2 + 4)

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.

A.
(5 • 2) + 4 (use the associative property)

B.
5 • 2 + 4 (use the distributive property)

C.
5 • 6 (use order of operations)

D.
5 • 2 + 5 • 4 (use the distributive property)

Answer 1

C and D
5·(2+4) is 30, because u need to add parenthesis first. 2+4 is 6
6·5 is 30.
C is 5·6 and that is 30
D is 5·2 which is 10, then 5·4 which is 20. 10+ 20 is 30.
