The way that this problem is written, it appears to be simple multiplication. What it is missing are the necessary parentheses to make the problem workable. Thought: 2yy 3 might be written as: (2yy)3 or 3(2yy) In either case, if this is the correct way of writing the problem, the answer is 6y to the second power. Diane White Oviedo, Florida Math teacher
2(x - 3) = 2x - 6.
4*(x + 3) = 4*x + 4*3 = 4x + 12
7*9 = 9*(10 - 3) = 90 - 27 = 63
6*147 = 6*(150 - 3) = 6*150 - 6*3 = 900 - 18 = 882. That uses the distributive property of multiplication over subtraction. The above is far simpler than using the distributive property of multiplication over addition 6*147 = 6*(140 + 7) but then do you know your 14 times table? I did learn it at school but if you did not, = 6*(100 + 40 + 7) = 600 + 240 + 42 = 882
5*43 = 5*(40 + 3) = 5*40 + 5*3 = 200 + 15 = 215
distributive property for (11-3)=
The distributive property in math is (in variable definition) : a(b+c)=ab+ac For example you could use the distributive property to simplify this expression: 3(x+4) (3)(x) + (3)(4) 3x+12 is your answer! Hope this helps! -dancinggirl25
The distributive property states that when you have a problem, say 3(42-36) then you distribute the multiply by 3 to the 42 and -36 to get 126-108 which can be easier to solve some times. Also when you simplify problems with variables, you can substitute 5n+15 to 5(n+3).-------a(b+c) = ab+ac
Which property is illustrated in this problem? (associative, distributive, identity, or commutative) 7d + 3 = 3 + 7d
don't answer that
9(10+3)
3*62 = 3*(60 + 2) which, using the distributive property, is= 3*60 + 3*2 = 180 + 6 = 186.
108
distributive property of 144 and 9 is 3(36 + 3) 3 * 36 = 144, and 3 * 3 = 9 At least I believe that is right. Not sure
Distributive Property
An expression equal to 15 + 35, using distributive property, is 5(3 + 7). Under distributive property, 5*3=15 and 5*7=35.
The DISTRIBUTIVE property is a property of multiplication over addition (or subtraction). In symbolic terms, it states that a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c
