The distributive property is not used for simplified multiplication. See http://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/simplifying/distribution for information about how to use the distributive property to simplify other equations. 20 x 12 is already simplified, so the proper way to solve it is 12

You could potentially factor and use the commutative property to find a simpler equation, ex.
20x12 -- break 20 into 10 and 2
10x2x12 -- multiply 2 by 12
10x24 -- multiply by 10

Can multiplication be distributive over subtraction?
Multiplication can be the first step when using the distributive property with subtraction. The distributive law of multiplication over subtraction is that the difference of the subtraction problem and then multiply, or multiply each individual products and then find the difference.
What is the distributive property to find the product of 7x9?
7*9 = 9*(10 - 3) = 90 - 27 = 63
What is the distributive property to find the product of 5x43?
5*43 = 5*(40 + 3) = 5*40 + 5*3 = 200 + 15 = 215
How can you find 37x9 using the distributive property?
you would go: (30x9) + (7x9) = 270 + 63 = 333 which is the same as if you typed 37x9 into the calculator and got 333!
What property can you use to find the missing number for 10y equals 10?
Multiplicative identity property
Explain how do use distributive property to find an expression that is equivalent to 20+16?
First, I would find that the GCF of 20 and 16 is 4. Then, I would divide both 20 and 16 by 4. Last, I would use the distributive property to write the sum as 4(5 + 4).
How do you find the gcf of 24 and 36 using distributive property?
Some people use the distributive property to add 24 and 36, but you wouldn't use it to find the GCF which, by the way, is 12.
You can find the product of any two binomials using the property?
distributive
You can find the product of any two binomials using what property?
distributive.
How can you find 37 times 9 using the distributive property?
OWO
How do you find the product of 6 and times 4.3 by applying the distributive property?
6 x 4.3 = 6 x 4 + 6 x 0.3 = 24 + 1.8 = 25.8
How can you mentally find eight multiplied by 45 by using the distributive property?
(8x40)+(8x5)
What is an equivalent fraction with an answer of 25 in distributive property?
The distributive property is not related to finding equivalent fractions. The distributive property is a rule that states a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac. It is used to simplify expressions and perform operations like multiplication or addition. To find an equivalent fraction, you would need to multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number.
Can multiplication be distributive over subtraction?
Multiplication can be the first step when using the distributive property with subtraction. The distributive law of multiplication over subtraction is that the difference of the subtraction problem and then multiply, or multiply each individual products and then find the difference.
What is the greatest common factor using distributive property of 20?
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
What is the gcf of 18 plus 27 using the distributive property?
(2 x 9) + (3 x 9) = 5 x 9 = 45 The GCF is 9.
How can you use the distributive propery to find the product 30 17?
You don't need to use the distributive property. 3*17 = 51 so 30*17 = 510 Why invoke procedures that are not necessary?
