Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(2x + 1) = (2)(2x) + (2)(1) = 4x + 2 → A
used distributive property
2(2x + 1) = 2(1 + 2x) → B
used commutative property
2(2x + 1) = (2x + 1) + (2x + 1) = 2x + 1 + 2x + 1 → D
used 2a = a + a
2(2x + 1) = 4x + 2 = x + x + x + x + 1 + 1 → E
used 4x = x + x + x + x and 2 = 1 + 1
