You need three numbers to apply a distributive property.
7 x 86 does not HAVE a distributive property. The distributive property of multiplication can be used to calulate 7 x 86 as 7 x 86 = 7 x 80 + 7 x 6
4 x 18 = (4 x 10) + (4 x 8)
10*46 = 10*(40+6) = 10*40 + 10*6 (using the distributive property) = 400 + 60 = 460 Except that to multiply by 10 you should not need the ditributive property!
2(x+6)=2x+12. This is an example of the distributive property.
