22x85 = (20 + 2)x(80 + 5) = 20x(80 + 5) + 2x(80+5)
= 20x80 + 20x5 +2x80 + 2x5
= 1600 + 100 + 160 +10 = 1870
Although if I were doing it in my head I'd probably just do
22x85 = (20 + 2)*85 = 20*85 + 2*85 = 1700 + 170 = 1870.

8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28
You wouldn't. if it was something like 15(X-95) then you could use the distrubutive property but that is just a multiplication problem
no because distributive property is for multiple digit numbers.
You don't. The distributive property involves at least three numbers.
There are three basic properties of numbers: Associative, Commutative, and Distributive. The commutative property says that b + a = a + b and a * b = b * a.
