To use the distributive property on the expression (3(2 + 8)), you distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses. This means you multiply 3 by 2 and 3 by 8:
[ 3(2 + 8) = 3 \times 2 + 3 \times 8 = 6 + 24. ]
Thus, (3(2 + 8)) simplifies to (30) when you combine the results.
The GCF of 24 and 64 is 8. You use the distributive property to show another way to write the sum. 8(3 + 8)
6(5 + 11)
-4.2x - 6y + 3.6
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.
Using my knowledge of greatest common factors and the distributive property, I can tell that 45 + 63 is equal to 9(5 + 7) or 9 x 12, which is 108. Of course, I could also tell that from my knowledge of addition.
The GCF of 24 and 64 is 8. You use the distributive property to show another way to write the sum. 8(3 + 8)
The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. This only works in your case if you meant to write 15(x + 20). That would equal 15x + 300.
6(5 + 11)
The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. To use this to write an expression equivalent to ( x + y ), you can express it as ( 1(x + y) ), which simplifies to ( 1 \cdot x + 1 \cdot y ). Thus, applying the distributive property, you can rewrite ( x + y ) as ( 1 \cdot (x + y) ) or simply keep it as ( x + y ) since it remains equivalent.
the distributive property is only used when simplifying expressions or solving an equation: to write an expression just translate the question into symbols and letters - you don't need to use the distributive property or any other property for that
You can use the distributive property to factor the expression (2l + 2w). By factoring out the common factor of 2, you can rewrite the expression as (2(l + w)). This shows that the sum of (2l) and (2w) can be expressed as twice the sum of (l) and (w).
distributive property for (11-3)=
no because distributive property is for multiple digit numbers.
-4.2x - 6y + 3.6
You don't. The distributive property involves at least three numbers.
72.divided 4 in distributive property
It cannot be, unless you use extremely complicated fractions.
