Correct choice:
The distributive property of multiplication over addition acts by the rule:
[tex]a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c.[/tex]
Incorrect choices:
1. Communicative Property of Multiplication - [tex]a\cdot b=b\cdot a;[/tex]
2. Multiplicative Identity - the "multiplicative Identity" is 1: [tex]a\cdot 1=1\cdot a=a;[/tex]
3. Multiplicative Inverse Property - a multiplicative inverse is a reciprocal: [tex]a\cdot a^{-1}=a^{-1}\cdot a=1.[/tex]
