The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In the case of finding the product of 7 and 65, we can apply the distributive property to break down the multiplication into simpler operations. Therefore, 7 x 65 can be calculated as 7 x (60 + 5) = (7 x 60) + (7 x 5) = 420 + 35 = 455.
The distributive property is a property that is relevant to two binary operations, not to numbers. 5(4 + 7)
