Confused help sorry.  which type of reasoning is being used in the statement? I know that 4(3x + 2) = 12x + 8 because of the Distributive Property.Inductive,or Deductive

directrix · Answer

I say deductive reasoning because:

Distributive Property: For a, b, and c: a(b+c) = ab +ac

Therefore, 4(3x + 2) = 12x + 8
