How Does the distributive property work for subtraction?
doesnt work
Does the distributive property work for subtraction?
yes
What properties do the distributive property work for?
addition and subtraction * * * * * No. The distributive property applies to two operations, for example, to multiplication over addition or subtraction.
Why doesn't the distributive property always work for division?
The distributive property works is defined for multiplication and addition: a (b + c) = ab + ac also: (a + b)c = ac + bc For a division, it works if you can convert it into a multiplication, in a form similar to the above. For example: (10 + 2) / 2 can be converted into a multiplication; in this case, dividing by 2 is equivalent to multiplying by 1/2: (10 + 2) (1/2) = (10 x 1/2) + (2 x 1/2) If the sum is in the divisor, for example: 15 / (1 + 2) then there is no way you can convert it into an equivalent multiplication, which conforms to the forms used for the distributive property.
What does Associative Property not work for which operations?
It does not work with subtraction nor division.
Does the commutative property work on division?
No, it does not.
Examples of distributive property of multiplication?
The property that multiplication is distributive over addition means that a*(b+c) = (a*b) + (a*c) The usufulness of this property can be illustrated by the following example: 8*(102) = 8*(100+2) = (8*100) + (8*2) = 800 + 16 = 816. So if you split 102 into 100 and 2, and then use the distributive property, you do not need to work with a large number such as 102.
What operations dont work for commutative property?
Subtraction, division
Does this property work for division yes or no?
Probably not, but without knowing the property, it is impossible to say for sure.
Why do we have to do the Distributive property rather than using order of operations?
None whatsoever. You might find the distributive property useful when trying to calculate 39*74. Of course, if you are familiar with the 39 times table or the 74 times table, the distributive property is a complete waste of time! But somehow I doubt that level of arithmetic competence.
The Commutative Property does not work for which operations?
Addition and multiplication
Does distributive property of multiplication over addition work for the 12 hour clock system?
No. Example: 6pm*(7pm+2am) =/= 42pm2+12ampm
