The distributive property states that a number can be multiplied by a sum or difference by distributing the multiplication across each term. For the numbers 28 and 42, you can express this as ( 28 \times (40 + 2) ) or ( 28 \times (30 + 12) ). Applying the distributive property, this becomes ( (28 \times 40) + (28 \times 2) ) or ( (28 \times 30) + (28 \times 12) ).

What is the distributive property of 42?

Individual numbers do not have the distributive property - mathematical operations do.


How do you express the distributive property of 28 plus 42?

(2 x 14) + (3 x 14) = 5 x 14 = 70


What is the distributive property of 15 plus 42?

The distributive property states that a number multiplied by a sum can be distributed to each addend. For 15 plus 42, if we were to use this property in the context of multiplication, it could look like (15 \times (40 + 2) = (15 \times 40) + (15 \times 2)). However, since the operation is addition, the distributive property isn't directly applicable to just adding 15 and 42. The sum is simply (15 + 42 = 57).


How do you use the distributive property to express the sum of two numbers with the greatest common factor figured out?

42 + 63 = (2 x 21) + (3 x 21) = 5 x 21 = 105


Which kind of expression uses the greatest common factor and the distributive property to find 42 plus 96?

An unnecessary one. 42 + 96 = 138


Distributive property in math?

The distributive property states that when you have a problem, say 3(42-36) then you distribute the multiply by 3 to the 42 and -36 to get 126-108 which can be easier to solve some times. Also when you simplify problems with variables, you can substitute 5n+15 to 5(n+3).-------a(b+c) = ab+ac


How do you break apart 6x7?

To break apart 6x7, you can use the distributive property. This can be done by expressing 7 as a sum, such as 6 x (5 + 2). Then, apply the distributive property: 6x5 + 6x2, which equals 30 + 12. Thus, 6x7 can be broken apart and calculated as 42.


Which property would help you solve 42 15 28 mentally because you would add 42 and 28 first then add 15?

the property says that a+b+c is the same as a+c+b and it is the commutative property of addition.


What is the distributive property to find the product of 7x46?

7*46 = 7*(40 + 6) = 7*40 + 7*6 = 280 + 42 = 322


What property of multiplaction allows you to break a problem into partial products?

distributive property, and substitution property. EX: 42 x 20 = (40 + 2) x 20 = (40 x 20) + (2 x 20)


How do you use the distributive property to solve a problem?

You multiply the outside number touching the parenthesis by the numbers inside. Ex: 6(x - 5) = 42 6x - 30 = 42 6x = 72 x = 12


How do you express the sum of each pair of numbers as a product of the greatest common factor of the numbers and another number?

Pick a pair of numbers. Let's try 30 and 42. Their GCF is 6. 6 x 5 and 6 x 7 By the distributive property, that can be written as 6(5 + 7)
