You don't for that problem. Simply multiply for that. Distributive property is useful when there are variables in the equation. For example, 4(x + 3) would simplify to 4x + 12, since both of the numbers in the parentheses are being multiplied by 3. Parentheses are just another way of saying the multiplying sign. So 4(5) is equal to 4 * 5.

The distributive property of multiplication deals with multiplying across a set of parenthesis. An example of this property would be, x(y+z) = xy + xz.
no because distributive property is for multiple digit numbers.
You don't. The distributive property involves at least three numbers.
The property used to rewrite 9x2 + 9x3 is the Distributive Property. Using the Distributive Property the expression can be rewritten as 9x2 + 9x2 + 9x2 or 27x2.
