22*85 = (20 + 2)*85 = 20*85 + 2*85 = 1700 + 170 = 1870

If you cannot see that 85*2 = 170, then you can apply the distributive property again, to give

20*(80 + 5) + 2*(80 + 5) = 20*80 + 20*5 + 2*80 + 2*5 = 1600 + 100 + 160 + 10 = 1870

How do you use the distributive property to multiply 22x85?

22x85 = (20 + 2)x(80 + 5) = 20x(80 + 5) + 2x(80+5) = 20x80 + 20x5 +2x80 + 2x5 = 1600 + 100 + 160 +10 = 1870 Although if I were doing it in my head I'd probably just do 22x85 = (20 + 2)*85 = 20*85 + 2*85 = 1700 + 170 = 1870.

How do you do the distributive property?

An example of how to use the distributive property: If you have 6x(5+4) you multiply 6x by 5 and get 30x. Then you multiply 6x by 4 and get 24x and then you would have 30x+24x which = 54x


How do you use the distributive property to multiply 8 times 3 and a half?

8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28

Do you use the distributive property with a monomial and a polynomial?

If you want to multiply the monomial by the polynomial, yes. In that case, you have to multiply the monomial by every term of the polynomial. For example: a (b + c + d) = ab + ac + ad More generally, when you multiply together two polynomials, you have to multiply each term in one polynomial by each term of the other polynomial; for example: (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd All this can be derived from the distributive property (just apply the distributive property repeatedly).


Explain how to use the distributive property to find 20x12?

The distributive property is not used for simplified multiplication. See http://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/simplifying/distribution for information about how to use the distributive property to simplify other equations. 20 x 12 is already simplified, so the proper way to solve it is 12 x20 ----- 240 You could potentially factor and use the commutative property to find a simpler equation, ex. 20x12 -- break 20 into 10 and 2 10x2x12 -- multiply 2 by 12 10x24 -- multiply by 10 240
