Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. Using this property, we can write (-2)d + (-2)t as -2(d + t), making choice A the correct answer. The distributive property states that a(b+c) = ab + ac. Using this property, we can write:
(-2)d + (-2)t = -2(d + t)
Therefore, the correct choice is A.
