The distributive property is where you will "distribute" a term outside of a set of grouping symbols into all the terms within the set of grouping symbols. For example, to distribute 6(x+3), you would multiply 6 by x and by 3, to get 6x + 18. The distributive property is usually the property used most often to solve for variables in linear equations. For example, in the linear equation, 3(x+2)=4+x, you would have to distribute the 3, since x and 2 are not like terms.

What is a distributave property?

The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, the product of a and the sum (or difference) of b and c is equal to the sum (or difference) of the products of a and b and a and c. In mathematical terms, it can be written as a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(b - c) = ab - ac, where a, b, and c are real numbers. This property is fundamental in algebraic operations and simplifying expressions.
