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.
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
The distributive property is a property that relates to two binary operations and operates over a set.According to the distributive property of multiplication over division, if a, b and c are three elements of a set S, thena*(b + c) = a*b+a*cMultiplication is also distributive over subtraction.
2k + 10 is an expression. The distributive property is a property of one binary operation (typically multiplication, or right-division) over another (addition or subtraction) for elements of a set (numbers); not a property of expressions.
The DISTRIBUTIVE property is a property of multiplication over addition (OR subtraction) over some specified set of numbers. It states that, a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c for any elements a, b and c belonging to the set,
