Which identity or property is used during the first step when solving the equation 23−8x=16(4x−1)?

Additive Identity

Associative Property

Distributive Property

Multiplicative Identity

Respuesta :

Answer:

Multiplicative Identity

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what they all basically mean:

Additive Identity - addition

Associative Property - simplifying

Distributive Property - multiplying brackets, or expanding

Multiplicative Identity - multiplication

In this equation, you first expand 16(4x-1) which uses multiplication but only has one bracket meaning, you use multiplicative identity first.
