It means nothing, really. The distributive property is a property of multiplication over addition or subtraction. It has little, if anything, to do with integers.
Addition, by itself, does not have a distributive property. Multiplication has a distributive property over addition, according to which: a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
The distributive property is a property that relates to two binary operations and operates over a set.According to the distributive property of multiplication over division, if a, b and c are three elements of a set S, thena*(b + c) = a*b+a*cMultiplication is also distributive over subtraction.
The distributive property states that a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
If you mean: 5(x-4) = 5x-20 then both expressions are equivalent

The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.

The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b +c) = a*b + a*c That is to say, that the multiplication outside the barcket can be "distributed" over each of the terms inside the bracket.
The distributive property states that a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
it is when you distribute a number by the numbers inside of the (). Such as 9 (6*7) It would be 54*63. Hope this helps! :) * * * * * I hope it does not because it is so very WRONG! 9(6*7) is 9*42 = 378 and is an illustration of the associative property. The distributive property of multiplication OVER addition (or subtraction) states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c Thus, multiplication can be "distributed" over the numbers that are inside the brackets.
The distributive property is defined in the context of two operations. You have only one (subtraction) in the question.
No. But multiplication is distributive over addition. This means that for any numbers A, B, and C A x (B + C) = (A x B) + (A x C). If addition were distributive over multiplication, that would mean that A + (B x C) = (A + B) x (A + C) which is not true.
Distribution in math means to multiply each of the terms within the parentheses by another term that is outside the parentheses. For example: 5(x+2)---> 5*x+5*2-----> 5x+10
If you mean: 5(x-4) = 5x-20 then both expressions are equivalent
the order in which you multiply the numbers doesn't matter. example: 6x4x2 you can multiply it in that order, or you can do 6x2x4
