Best Answer

I assume you mean the 'Order of Operations' which are:

1 Brackets

2 Exponents (Powers and Roots)

3 Multiplication and Division

4 Addition and Subtraction

Therefore, division will be done before addition.

What is the distrubitive property?

The distributive property is the ability of one operation to "distribute" over another operation contained inside a set of parenthesis. Most commonly, this refers to the property of multiplication distributing over addition or subtraction, such that x(a+b) = xa + xb. When we say that multiplication distributes over addition, it means we can distribute the factor outside the set of parenthesis to each item inside, and then add the results. For example, 4(3+7) is equivalent to 4*3 + 4*7 because the multiplication by four was distributed across the addition inside the parenthesis. Not every operation is distributive. For example, division is not distributive over addition. If we are given 20/(3+7) the true result is 2, but distributing would give you 20/3 + 20/7, which is around 10 and very incorrect!


Which to operations are done first division or subtraction or multiplacation or addition?

Do (multiplication/division) before you do (addition/subtraction).


How do you check addition with division?

You don't. You can check addition with subtraction or subtraction with addition, since subtraction is the opposite of addition. Similary, you can check division with multiplication, or vice versa.


Does the distributive property apply to division?

Division is distributive over addition only in terms of addition with the numerator, but not the denominator. That is, (a + b)/x = a/x + b/x but y/(c + d) ≠ y/c + y/d
