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.

What is the distributive property of 12 and 56?

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?


What is 516 in distributive property?

The distributive property is applicable to two binary operators (such as addition and multiplication). There are no operators in the question and so the distributive property has no relevance to the question.


What do you do when using the distributive property in a math problem?

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)


What is 364 x 26 in distributive property?

You don't need to use the distribution property, you can just multiply them. There is also nothing to distribute, so distribution simply cannot be done! The answer is 9464.


What is 8x15 in distributive property?

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.


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

What is the distributive property of 18 plus 24?

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


Distributive property with variables?

Say the Question is 3(2y+5) Multiply both terms in the brackets by 3 so (3x2y)+(3x5) = 6y+15


How do you find the distributive property of 127 and 32?

Oh, dude, finding the distributive property is like a walk in the park... if you're into math and stuff. So, you basically multiply 127 by 30 and 127 by 2 separately, then add those results together. It's like breaking down a big number into smaller, more manageable pieces. Easy peasy, right?


What is the distributive property for 98 x 7?

The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In this case, 98 x 7 can be calculated using the distributive property as 98 x 7 = 98 x (5 + 2) = (98 x 5) + (98 x 2) = 490 + 196 = 686. So, the distributive property helps break down the multiplication into simpler calculations.


What is 4 times 5 and 1 over 8 distributive property?

The distributive property states that when you multiply a number by a sum, you can multiply each addend separately and then add the products. In this case, 4 times 5 is 20, and 4 times 1/8 is 1/2. Therefore, using the distributive property, 4 times 5 and 1/8 is equal to 20 + 1/2, which simplifies to 20 1/2 or 20.5.
