Problem

Solve the expression 8( 14 - 6 + a) by using the distributive property.

Step

The given expression is

\$8(14 - 6 + "a")\$

Hint

To solve the expression 8(14 - 6 + a) using the distributive property, we need to distribute 8 to each term inside the parentheses:

\$8 times 14 - 8 times 6 + 8 times "a"\$

Step

Now, let’s simplify each term:

\$8 times 14 - 8 times 6 + 8 times "a"\$

Step

Make it simplify

112 - 48 + 8a

Step

Subtract the terms:

64 + 8a

Step

Therefore, the expression simplifies to: 64 + 8a.

Choice.A

Utilizing the distributive property, it accurately performed the calculation with precision and correctness

64 + 8a

Choice.B

Option B is wrong because it suggests adding 8 to the product of 64 and a, contrary to 64 + 8a

8 + 64a

Choice.C

Wrong: It has a different sign for the term involving 8a. The correct sign is positive, not negative

64 - 8a

Choice.D

Incorrect: It doesn’t follow the correct distribution and combination of like terms

8 - 64a
