To multiply a sum by a number,multiply each addend of the sum by the number outside the parentheses.For any numbers a, b, and c, a(b+c) = ab + ac and a(b-c) = ab - ac.Example: 2(5-3)= (2 times* 5) - (2 times* 3). Times*_multiply

When multiplying any value to an addition or subtraction expression in parentheses, the multiplier can be multiplied to each value in the expression and the parentheses removed. or example:
x*(y+z)=xy+xz
This also works with exponents over multiplication:
(xy)z=xzyz
the distributive property states that a(b+c) = ab+ac
you take whats inside the parenthesis and multiply it by the outside.
the distributive property is something like 4(3+8)
you would multiply 4 times 3+ 4 times 8
the distributed property,commmutative properties of addition and multiplication,Associative properties of addition and multiplication,additive identity, multiplicative identity.
They are the associative property, distributive property and the commutative property.
Distributive property
The DISTRIBUTIVE (not distributed) property is a property of multiplication over addition (OR subtraction). In its simplest form, if x, y and z are three numbers then, according to the distributive property of multiplication over addition, x*(y + z) = x*y + x*z
