Answer:

OPTION C - Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]$ \frac{6x + 9}{3} $[/tex]

This is equal to: [tex]$ \frac{6x}{3} + \frac{9}{3} $[/tex]

⇒ [tex]$ 2x + 3 $[/tex]

Here, [tex]$ 3 $[/tex] is distributed over each term. Hence, distributive property is used.

Answer:

C. Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

      [tex]\frac{6x+ 9}{3}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{6x}{3} + \frac{9}{3}[/tex]     (distributive property of the denominator)

             = 2x + 3

The denominator in the question is distributive over the two terms in the numerator.
