Let's solve the problem [tex]\(2 \times (15 + 9)\)[/tex] using the Distributive Property step-by-step. The Distributive Property states that [tex]\(a \times (b + c) = (a \times b) + (a \times c)\)[/tex].

1. Identify the values in the expression [tex]\(2 \times (15 + 9)\)[/tex]:
- [tex]\(a = 2\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(b = 15\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(c = 9\)[/tex]

2. Apply the Distributive Property:
[tex]\[ 2 \times (15 + 9) = (2 \times 15) + (2 \times 9) \][/tex]

3. Calculate each part separately:
[tex]\[ 2 \times 15 = 30 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2 \times 9 = 18 \][/tex]

4. Add the results together:
[tex]\[ 30 + 18 = 48 \][/tex]

Thus, using the Distributive Property, we find that [tex]\(2 \times (15 + 9) = 48\)[/tex]. Therefore, the correct answer is:
