a(b + c) = ab + ac
4 x 53 = 4(50 + 3) = (4 x 50) + (4 x 3) = 200 + 12 = 212
3*4 = 12 as well.
To rewrite (3(4 + 5)) using the distributive property, you distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses. This means you multiply 3 by 4 and 3 by 5: [ 3(4 + 5) = 3 \cdot 4 + 3 \cdot 5 = 12 + 15. ] So, (3(4 + 5) = 12 + 15).
4*(x + 3) = 4*x + 4*3 = 4x + 12
GCF(16, 12) = 4. The distributive property is an attribute of two mathematical operations - not of numbers.
3(4 + 6) = 3 x 4 and 3 x 6 = 12 + 18 = 30
Find what is common between the two terms. 4 is a factor of 12, so 12 can be rewritten as 4*3, then you have: 4*x - 4*3, then using the distrubutive property: 4*(x-3). This is all that you are able to do with this one.
12 is 3 lots of 4. 12 thirds is one third of 12 and so it is one third of (3 lots of 4) by the associative property of multiplication, this is (one third of 3) lots of 4 But one third of 3 is 1, so it is 1 lot of 4, which is 4.
The GCF of 12 and 20 is 4. The distributive property states that 12 x 20 = 10 x 20 + 2 x 20 = 200 + 40 = 240 4(3 + 5)
commutative property states that if the places of numbers is changed , then there will be no change in the result. like 3+4=4+3 7 = 7 and 3*4 = 4*3 12 = 12 hence by the example it has proved that there is no change before and after changing the positions of numbers under same operation.
It is the commutative property of addition.
Assuming the operation is multiplication, 597 * 4 = (600 - 3)*4 = 600*4 - 3*4 = 2400 - 12 = 2388
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
