The distributive property is defined in the context of two operations. You have only one (subtraction) in the question.
addition and subtraction * * * * * No. The distributive property applies to two operations, for example, to multiplication over addition or subtraction.
yes
doesnt work
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.
It means nothing, really. The distributive property is a property of multiplication over addition or subtraction. It has little, if anything, to do with integers.
The distributive property is applicably to the operation of multiplication over either addition or subtraction of numbers. It does not apply to single numbers.
Yes. a*(b - c) = a*b - a*c
First, the word is there, not their. And, apart from you, who says there is no such law? because a*(b - c) = a*b - a*c and if that isn't the distributive property of multiplication over subtraction I don't know what is!
a*(b-c) = a*b - a*c
I'm not sure that's a "why" kind of question. It just doesn't.
The distributive property of subtraction states that when subtracting a number from the sum of two other numbers, you can subtract the same number from each of the two numbers separately, and then subtract the two results. This can be represented as: a - (b + c) = (a - b) + (a - c).
