The property used in the problem \(2(x + 4) = 2x + 8\) is the distributive property. This property states that \(a(b + c) = ab + ac\). In this case, \(a\) is 2, and \(b + c\) is \(x + 4\). So, when you distribute 2 to both \(x\) and 4, you get \(2x + 8\).
Which property is used in the problem?
2(x+4)=2x+8
