Apologies for the incorrect response. Upon reviewing the equation given, it appears that the mistake was made in the statement provided by the user. Please note that the given equation is incorrect.
To clarify, according to the distributive property, when you multiply a number by a sum or difference inside parentheses, you distribute the number to each term inside the parentheses.
For the given equation, 7(x+2), you would distribute the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses:
7(x+2) = 7*x + 7*2 = 7x + 14
So, the correct answer is: The property used is the distributive property.
