are you sure
Apologies for the confusion.
The equation 4(3 + 5) = 12 + 20 is actually an application of the distributive property, where the 4 is distributed to both the 3 and the 5 inside the parentheses.

are you entirely sure this time
Apologies once again for the confusion. Upon further consideration, the correct answer is the distributive property. The equation 4(3 + 5) can be simplified as 4 * 3 + 4 * 5, where the 4 is distributed to both the 3 and the 5 inside the parentheses. This simplifies to 12 + 20 on both sides of the equation.
