A.

If you put parenthesis around the "30+7," but I'm thinking that's what you meant?

yes thank you

No problem

anonymous · Answer

Surely it's B?
5*37 = 5*(30+7)
5*(30+7)=5*30+5*7 (by the Distributive Property, as required)

Oh, I've just seen there are multiple answers. D is also true as 37=40-3, so 5*37=5*(40-3)=5*40-5*3
