Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distributing 29 to both terms inside the parentheses, we get: 
29(43 + 32) = 29(43) + 29(32) = 1247 + 928 = 2175. So the expression is rewritten as 29 ·43 + 29 ·32 which is option C. Distributing 29 to both terms within the parentheses gives: 29(43 + 32) = 29(43) + 29(32) = 1247 + 928 = 2175. Therefore, the answer is choice C, 29·43 + 29·32.
