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.
The distributive property is not used for simplified multiplication. See http://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/simplifying/distribution for information about how to use the distributive property to simplify other equations. 20 x 12 is already simplified, so the proper way to solve it is 12 x20 ----- 240 You could potentially factor and use the commutative property to find a simpler equation, ex. 20x12 -- break 20 into 10 and 2 10x2x12 -- multiply 2 by 12 10x24 -- multiply by 10 240
7*9 = 9*(10 - 3) = 90 - 27 = 63
5*43 = 5*(40 + 3) = 5*40 + 5*3 = 200 + 15 = 215
You solve an inequality in the same way as you would solve an equality (equation). The only difference is that if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. Thus, if you have -3x < 9 to find x, you need to divide by -3. That is a negative number so -3x/(-3) > 9/(-3) reverse inequality x > -3

Some people use the distributive property to add 24 and 36, but you wouldn't use it to find the GCF which, by the way, is 12.
(8x40)+(8x5)
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.

(2 x 9) + (3 x 9) = 5 x 9 = 45 The GCF is 9.
you use distributive property, basically adding muliplt numbers to find the quotient. quotient being the answer to a division problem.
The GCF is 18. The Distributive property states that 36 x (50 + 4) = (36 x 50) + (36 x 4)
None whatsoever. You might find the distributive property useful when trying to calculate 39*74. Of course, if you are familiar with the 39 times table or the 74 times table, the distributive property is a complete waste of time! But somehow I doubt that level of arithmetic competence.
6 x 4.3 = 6 x 4 + 6 x 0.3 = 24 + 1.8 = 25.8
