The Distributive Property helps with mental math and should be taught to children as a method to multiply much quicker in their heads.
The method is FOIL for First Outside Inside Last
(x3+x2)(x+1) <--- think of the (x+1) as a separate term and distribute
x3(x+1) + x2(x+1) <---intermediate step not usually written
x3(x) + x3(1) + x2(x) + x2(1) <---multiply and collect like terms

What is the distributive property of 44 x 60?
The distributive property involves both a multiplication and an addition.
What is the distributive property of -4x plus 15?
There is no "distributive property" involved in this case. A distributive property always involves two operations, usually multiplication and addition. It states that a(b+c) = ab + ac.There is no "distributive property" involved in this case. A distributive property always involves two operations, usually multiplication and addition.
