Yes.
To use the distributive property, multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses. For example, in the expression ( a(b + c) ), you would calculate it as ( ab + ac ). This property helps simplify expressions and solve equations by distributing a common factor across terms. It's particularly useful when dealing with addition or subtraction within parentheses.
Distributive.
Suppose x and y are two terms with GCF k where the assumption (in this context) is that k is greater than 1. That implies that x = pk and y = qk where p and q are coprime terms. Then x + y = pk + qk and, using the distributive property, this is k*(p + q).

The GCF of 24 and 30 is 6. The distributive property states that 24 x 30 = (20 x 30) + (4 x 30)
The GCF is 18. The Distributive property states that 36 x (50 + 4) = (36 x 50) + (36 x 4)
