Here is how to multiply using the distributive property:

First, the equation: 9 (x + 3) = 35


There must be parentheses for the distributive property, and a number outside those parentheses. The next step is to multiply 9 by x and 9 by 3 individually, and put an addition symbol in the middle.


The second equation: 9x + 27 = 35


Then, subtract 27: 9x = 18


Divide by 9 on both sides: x = 2.


That is how you multiply using the distributive property.
