2(x+6)=2x+12. This is an example of the distributive property.

12(2+ 1/2) = 12x2 + 12x(1/2)

The distributive property breaks down the equation to make it more simple to do. It is often used for mental math. An example is (12x56). (10x50=500)+(2x6=12) then, (500+12=512).
12 times 14 = 12*(10 + 4) You could apply the distributive property twice and go for (10 + 2)*(10 + 4)
49*12 = (50 - 1)*12 Then, using the distributive property of multiplication over subtraction. = 50*12 - 1*12 = 600 - 12 = 588
12 x 18 = (12 x 10) + (12 x 8)
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.
2(x+6)=2x+12. This is an example of the distributive property.

12*56 Use the distributive property on 12: (10+2)*56 = 10*56 + 2*56 Use the distributive property on 56 twice: 10*(50+6) + 2*(50+6) = 10*50 + 10*6 + 2*50 + 2*6 = 500 + 60 + 100 + 12 = 672
12(2+ 1/2) = 12x2 + 12x(1/2)

(4 x 12) + (5 x 12) = 9 x 12 = 108
