The distributive property of multiplication states that when multiplying a number by a sum, you can distribute the multiplication across each term in the sum. In this case, 6x25 can be rewritten as 6x(20+5), where you distribute the 6 across both terms in the sum. This simplifies to 6x20 + 6x5, which equals 120 + 30, resulting in a final product of 150.
Because multiplication is distributive over addition.
Addition is not distrbutive over multiplication. In general,a + (b*c) ≠(a+b)*(a+c) [unless a+b+c = 1]
