The distributive property is a property that connects multiplication and addition. In symbols: a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a + c). We use this property on a daily basis, when we do a multiplication with pencil and paper, with numbers of more than one digit. For example, 2 x 12 = 2 x (10 + 2) = (2 x 10) + (2 x 2). It is also very useful in that it helps solve different algebraic problems.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
