Mr. rosenberger asked his students to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression 18(24) by using friendlier numbers.
the table below shows the expressions that four students created.
expressions created by students

aaron
10+8x4+20
brian
10+8(4+20)
cece
18(4+6)
diana
18(4+20)
which student's expression is equivalent to 18(24)?
aaron
brian
cece
diana

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 18(24) = 432. So the student that deduct this answer is the correct one.

From the table, we can observe that Diana did the best rewrite process, because it's equal to 18(24), her expression is 18(20+4), which it's a rewrite using distributive property which was ask. Other students didn't use the property correctly.

Therefore, Diana shows the right use of the property, and her expression is equivalent.

126 maybe. sorry
