When applying distributive property to solve an equation, you multiply each term by term. For instance: a(b + c) = ab + ac
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
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.
There is no distributive property of addition over multiplication. The equation works if a + (b * c) = (a + b)*(a + c) = a2 + ab +ac +bc => a + bc = a2 + ab +ac +bc ie a = a2 + ab + ac = a*(a+b+c) and that, in turn requires that a = 0 or a+b+c = 1 If a, b and c are fractions than the second condition requires the fractions to sum to 1 - not be equal to 1.

When using the distributive property to write an expression, you do not simplify within the parentheses before applying the property. The distributive property involves multiplying the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses. Once you have distributed the term, you can then simplify the resulting expression by combining like terms. Simplifying before distributing would result in an incorrect application of the distributive property.

The equation 4R + 3s + 2r = 6r + 3s is an example of the distributive property of addition, where the term 4R is being distributed over the sum of 2r and 6r. To see this more clearly, we can rewrite the equation as: 4R + 3s + 2r = (4R + 6r) + 3s Notice how the terms 4R and 6r are combined and the distributive property allows us to simplify the left-hand side of the equation.
A*(B + C) = A*B + A*C.
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 of multiplication OVER addition (or subtraction) states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c Thus, multiplication can be "distributed" over the numbers that are inside the brackets.
Its quiet simple. All you have to know is that when you use the distributive property in math, it's most likely and equation. So you basically remove the parentheses. AKA(expanding the equation)
6(2 + 1) = 18==========
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.
18(4) 72 I distributed the 18 into the 4 and using multiplication I got 72.
0.4*(7.5 + 40) = 19
