To simplify using the distributive property, you distribute a number or variable outside a set of parentheses to each term inside the parentheses. For example, if you have the expression 3(x + 2), you would distribute the 3 to both x and 2 to get 3x + 6. This helps you combine like terms and simplify the expression further.
An expression equal to 15 + 35, using distributive property, is 5(3 + 7). Under distributive property, 5*3=15 and 5*7=35.

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.
To expand the expression 7x(7y) using the distributive property, you distribute the 7x to both terms inside the parentheses. This results in 7x * 7y = 49xy. The distributive property allows you to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses, simplifying the expression.
