Which equation represents the distributive property?

A) 36 + 9 = 45

B) 36 + 9 = 3 (12 + 3)

C) 36 x 9 = 9 x 36

D) (12 + 3) 3 = 3 (12 + 3)

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is when you use the number on the outside of the parenthesis to multiply to the inside. So, 36+9=3 (12+3), in order to solve it on the parenthesis side you would take 3 and multiply it by 12, giving you 36. Then, you would take 3 and multiply it to the other 3 which gives you 9.
