Question
Which equation shows the distributive property of multiplication
(u x v) x w = u x (v x w)
v x u = u x v
u x w + v x w = ( u + v ) x w
u x v = u + w
(u x v) x w = u x (v x w)
v x u = u x v
u x w + v x w = ( u + v ) x w
u x v = u + w

The equation that shows the distributive property of multiplication is:
**u x w + v x w = (u + v) x w**
This property states that when you distribute a multiplication over addition, you can express the sum of two products as the product of a sum.
The other equations indicate either the commutative property (v x u = u x v) or other forms of multiplication and addition but do not represent the distributive property.
**u x w + v x w = (u + v) x w**
