It is possible to use the distributive property to simplify the expression
Let's analyze the expression step-by-step:
The original expression is .
Combining all the parts together gives:
With these calculations, we can clearly see that the distributive property has been applied correctly and the fully simplified expression is:
Reviewing the multiple-choice answers, the option that aligns with our calculated expression and indicates a "No" response for incorrectly applying distributive property is:
No,
Thus, the correct choice is option 2.
No,
