Answer 14

hi? yes :)
I think mathstudent55 was explaining it rather well :)

if you'd like more
I was saying
the distributive property
a (b + c) = (a)*(b) + (a)*(c)

so you want to look for the option that is like
something times something plus another something times something :)

does that make more sense?
