When applying distributive property to solve an equation, you multiply each term by term. For instance: a(b + c) = ab + ac
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.
no the equation is not correct, the only way it would be correct is if x=7 which would be a commutative property
The distributive property breaks down the equation to make it more simple to do. It is often used for mental math. An example is (12x56). (10x50=500)+(2x6=12) then, (500+12=512).
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
