Yes. The distributive property is multiplication. You have 2(4 + 5), you are basically multiplying (2 * 4) + (2 * 5), which is the third step down in the order of operations.

PEMDAS

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication / Division (from left - right)

Addition / Subtraction (from left - right)

Why do we have to do the Distributive property rather than using order of operations?

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.

How would you describe the relationship between the distributive property and division?

The distributive property allows us to break down multiplication over addition or subtraction, which can help simplify complex expressions. While division is not directly expressed through the distributive property, it can be related; for instance, when dividing a sum by a number, we can use the property to divide each term separately. This highlights the interrelationship between these operations, as both are fundamental to simplifying and solving mathematical expressions.
