D. 
2(8 + b) = 42
E.

The easiest way to solve the question is plugging in `10` for each variable of `b`.

$\large\bf{A. 2 (10+4) = 16 ?}$

$\large\bf{B. 2(10+2)=40 ?}$

$\large\bf{C. 3(10-2)=24?}$

$\large\bf{D. 2(8+10)=42?}$

$\large\bf{E. 3(10-4)=20?}$

Can you tell hiim how you got 10?

Oh nvm

supie · Answer

Yes, you can do that 
ways you can solve the equation is solve by using the distributive property, where you multiply what is outside of the parenthesis by everything that is inside of the parenthesis,  $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ 
or you can solve what is inside of the parenthesis then multiply that by what is outside of the parenthesis 
then whichever one is true would be your answer
