Which property does the equation

24 (70 + 5) = 24 (70) + 24 (5)

illustrate?

A associative

B commutative

C distributive

D identity

This would be the distributive property because:

a (b + c) = ab + ac

'a' multiplied by the quantity of ' (b + c) '

is equal to

'a' times 'b' + 'a' times 'c'

The answer you are looking for is C) Distributive Property

A (B + C) = A (B) + A (C) is a distributive property.

So:

24 (70 + 5) = 24 (70) + 24 (5) is also a distributive property.

Option C.
