Select the correct answer. Choose the number sentence that illustrates the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

3 × (7 + 2) = (3 + 7) × (3 + 2)

3 × (7 + 2) = (3 × 7) + 2

3 × (7 + 2) = (3 × 7) + (3 × 2)

The last option: 3 x (7 + 2) = (3 x 7) + (3 x 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is addition on the inside, and you are distributing the multiplication from the outside.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
