You can solve distributive property problems, by doing this:
Let's say your problem is 27+12. You start by doing this:
What factor goes into 27? Wait... what Greatest Common Factor belongs to 27?
It's 9. So, what you do is this:
3(9+?)
3*? equals 12? 3*4= 12. So it's 4.
So, 3(9+4) 9+4= 13
3*13= 39
27
+12
equals 39
When applying distributive property to solve an equation, you multiply each term by term. For instance: a(b + c) = ab + ac
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.
Yes, but it would be a pointless thing to do. The associative property is much more appropriate.
The distributive property breaks down the equation to make it more simple to do. It is often used for mental math. An example is (12x56). (10x50=500)+(2x6=12) then, (500+12=512).
Addition, by itself, does not have a distributive property. Multiplication has a distributive property over addition, according to which: a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
When applying distributive property to solve an equation, you multiply each term by term. For instance: a(b + c) = ab + ac
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.
You don't because you only need to do the multiplication problem.
That really depends on the specific case.
The distributive property states that when you have a problem, say 3(42-36) then you distribute the multiply by 3 to the 42 and -36 to get 126-108 which can be easier to solve some times. Also when you simplify problems with variables, you can substitute 5n+15 to 5(n+3).-------a(b+c) = ab+ac
The distributive property is a characteristic that two mathematical operators may have. Numbers do not have a distributive property.
Yes, but it would be a pointless thing to do. The associative property is much more appropriate.
Numbers do not have a distributive property. The distributive property is an attribute of one arithmetical operation over another. The main example is the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
The distributive property applies to two binary operations, not to an individual number. It is therefore, impossible to make "786 distributive property".
The distributive property breaks down the equation to make it more simple to do. It is often used for mental math. An example is (12x56). (10x50=500)+(2x6=12) then, (500+12=512).

Individual numbers do not have the distributive property - mathematical operations do.
