Answer:

• The distributive property needs to be applied to determine the value to add to the left side of the equation to balance the sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to multiply the term  b2/4a2 by a in order to determine the value to add to the left side of the equation so as to balance both sides of the equation.

If we multiply the terms, we get;

[tex]\frac{b^{2} }{4a^{2} }*a=\frac{b^{2} }{4a}[/tex]

Therefore, we shall be adding the term [tex]\frac{b^{2} }{4a}[/tex] to the left side of the equation.

Answer: The answer is choice B.
