The distributive property is defined in the context of two operations. You have only one (subtraction) in the question.
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.
addition and subtraction * * * * * No. The distributive property applies to two operations, for example, to multiplication over addition or subtraction.
yes
Ab/c-d

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.
Yes. a*(b - c) = a*b - a*c
The distributive property is applicably to the operation of multiplication over either addition or subtraction of numbers. It does not apply to single numbers.
The distributive property is a property that relates to two binary operations and operates over a set.According to the distributive property of multiplication over division, if a, b and c are three elements of a set S, thena*(b + c) = a*b+a*cMultiplication is also distributive over subtraction.
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!
I'm not sure that's a "why" kind of question. It just doesn't.
a*(b-c) = a*b - a*c
