The distributive property of multiplication states that when multiplying a number by a sum, you can distribute the multiplication across each term in the sum. In this case, 6x25 can be rewritten as 6x(20+5), where you distribute the 6 across both terms in the sum. This simplifies to 6x20 + 6x5, which equals 120 + 30, resulting in a final product of 150.

The distributive property involves both a multiplication and an addition.
There is no "distributive property" involved in this case. A distributive property always involves two operations, usually multiplication and addition. It states that a(b+c) = ab + ac.There is no "distributive property" involved in this case. A distributive property always involves two operations, usually multiplication and addition.

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

No. The distributive property applies to two operations (usually multiplication and addition), NOT to numbers.
