What property is used to rewrite (x + 2)(y + z) as y (x + 2) + z (x + 2)

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation (if you were to show the steps):

(x+2)(y+z)   (first expression)

xy + xz + 2y + 2z (Distributive Property of Multiplication)

yx + 2y + zx + 2z (use the Commutative Property of Addition and Commutative Property of Multiplication to group xy (also known as yx) and 2y together, and to group xz (also known as zx) and 2z together)

y(x + 2) + z(x + 2) (use factoring to get the rewritten expression at the end)

a is the right answer

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
