Answer: Tyler used the distributive property.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the expression: [tex]14.1(19.8+7.6)[/tex]
Madison wrote: [tex]14.1(7.6+19.8)[/tex] which is by commutative property of addition.
- The commutative property of addition says that [tex]a+b=b+a[/tex], for a,b be any real number
Tyler wrote:[tex]14.1(7.6)+14.1(19.8)[/tex] which is by distributive propery.
- The distributive property says that [tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex], for a,b,c be any real numbers.
Hence, the last option is correct.
