which of the following demonstrates the distributive property?

a.2(3a + 4) = 6a + 4
b.2(3a + 4) = 3a + 8
c.2(3a + 4) = 6a + 8
d.2(3a + 4) = 5a + 6

Consider this expression and the steps to evaluate it. 4^5(−2)^9/4^8(−2)^3 1. apply the quotient of powers:      (−2)^a/4^b 2. evaluate powers:           c/d select the value of each variable. a = _ b = _ c = _ d = _
