Which property justifies the following statement?
5(72 – 3y) = 352 – 15y
distributive property
transitive property of equality
reflexive property of equality
symmetric property of equality

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given statement is

5(72 – 3y) = 360– 15y

When we apply the distributive property to the left hand side we get;

When we simplify we get

Therefore the distributive property justifies the given statement.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
