In the expression \(5(g + 2) + 3(h - 4)\), the first property that should be applied is the **distributive property**. This property allows you to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the factor outside the parentheses.
In this case, you would distribute \(5\) to \((g + 2)\) and \(3\) to \((h - 4)\) first before performing any addition.
So, the correct response is **distributive property**.
