Question

Identify the property in the following statements:
$8\cdot (6+5)=(8\cdot 6)+(8\cdot 5)$

Answer 1

The distributive property is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside the parenthesis

As 8 is distributed inside parenthesis with 6 and 5.

Fact: Distributive property $a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Hence $8\cdot (6+5)=(8\cdot 6)+(8\cdot 5)$ is distributive property
