Answer 1

The property that can be used to expand the expression \( 5(3x - 67) \) is the **Distributive Property**.

This property states that \( a(b + c) = ab + ac \) and can also be applied to subtraction. In this case, it would be utilized to distribute the 5 across the terms inside the parentheses:

\[ 5(3x - 67) = 5 \cdot 3x - 5 \cdot 67 \]

So, the correct response is **Distributive Property**.
