2x - 2y = 2(x - y)
Name the property that justifies the given statement.

Distributive property (Reversed)

Step-by-step explanation:

With the distributive property, it is possible to simplify expressions that consist of an expression term such as (a + b) being multiplied by one singular term such as c given as follows

c ×(a + b) = c·a + c·b

Factoring, which is the reverse  use of the distributive property enables the difference or the sum of two products, each having a common factor to be the presented as the difference  or the sum of two numbers multiplied by the common factor as follows;

2·x - 2·y = 2·(x - y).

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

the answer is 13 cm
