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.

Well, honey, the distributive property states that when you multiply a number by a sum, you can multiply each addend by that number separately and then add the products. So, in this case, you would multiply 12 by 56 and get 672. But hey, who's counting?
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)
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math lingo! So, like, in the distributive property, you distribute the 8 to both numbers inside the parentheses. So, 8 times 15 is 120. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

The distributive property does not apply to addition by itself. So, unfortunately, the question does not make sense.
