To rewrite the expression 2(a+4) using the distributive property, we'll distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses (a and 4). This means that we'll multiply 2 by both a and 4.
By applying the distributive property, we get:
2(a+4) = 2 * a + 2 * 4
Simplifying further, we multiply 2 by a and 2 by 4:
2(a+4) = 2a + 8
So, the expression 2(a+4) can be rewritten as 2a + 8 using the distributive property.
