To simplify using the distributive property, you distribute a number or variable outside a set of parentheses to each term inside the parentheses. For example, if you have the expression 3(x + 2), you would distribute the 3 to both x and 2 to get 3x + 6. This helps you combine like terms and simplify the expression further.

What is (7x5) (7x2) in distributive property?
In the distributive property, we distribute the multiplication operation over addition or subtraction within parentheses. In this case, we have (7x5) (7x2). By applying the distributive property, we can simplify this expression as 7*(5+2), which equals 7*7. Therefore, the result of (7x5) (7x2) in distributive property is 49.
Could you use 1 in distributive property?
no because distributive property is for multiple digit numbers.
How do you use the distributive property for 2 numbers?
You don't. The distributive property involves at least three numbers.
What is the distributive property of multiplication for 8x6?
To apply the distributive property to an algebraic expression, you multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number or variable outside the parentheses. For example, to simplify 2(x + 3), you would multiply 2 by both x and 3, resulting in 2x + 6.
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.
