An operation is commutative if you can change the orderof the numbers involved without changing the result. Addition and multiplication are both commutative. Subtraction is not commutative: 2 - 1 is not equal to 1 - 2.

Oh dear!
Multiplication is commutative for ordinary numbers but not for matrices, so not a correct answer. But what has any of this to do with the question?
The distributive property states that
a(b+c)=ab+ac
you take the numbers on the inside and multiply them by the number(s) on the outside.
It means nothing, really. The distributive property is a property of multiplication over addition or subtraction. It has little, if anything, to do with integers.
They are the associative property, distributive property and the commutative property.

The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.

Oh, dude, the distributive property in math is like when you have to distribute a number outside a set of parentheses to all the terms inside. It's kind of like spreading peanut butter evenly on toast, but with numbers. So, if you have a(b + c), you just multiply a by b and a by c separately. Easy peasy, right?
The distributive property is simple. What I do is think of a double rainbow... 5(3+2) = This will be simple. 5 times 3 is fifteen, 5 times 2 is 10. Now that you know about the double rainbow trick, visit math is fun for help with the distributive property.

Distributive property
well it means a number times another is equal to a number plus another= 4x5=20+0 * * * * * No. The correct answer is as follows: The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.
The distributive property in math is (in variable definition) : a(b+c)=ab+ac For example you could use the distributive property to simplify this expression: 3(x+4) (3)(x) + (3)(4) 3x+12 is your answer! Hope this helps! -dancinggirl25
a(b+c)=ab+ac you take the numbers on the inside and multiply them by the number(s) on the outside.
The distributive property need not have any k in it.
the basic number properties in math are associative, commutative, and distributive associative: (for addition) a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c (for multiplication) a(bc)=(ab)c or a*(b*c)=(a*b)*c commutative: (for addition) a+b=b+a (for multiplication) a*b=b*a or ab=ba distributive: a(b+c)=ab+ac or a(b+c)=a*b + a*c
