The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
yes
The distributive property of multiplication OVER addition (or subtraction) states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c Thus, multiplication can be "distributed" over the numbers that are inside the brackets.
No. But multiplication is distributive over addition. This means that for any numbers A, B, and C A x (B + C) = (A x B) + (A x C). If addition were distributive over multiplication, that would mean that A + (B x C) = (A + B) x (A + C) which is not true.
Numbers do not have a distributive property. The distributive property is an attribute of one arithmetical operation over another. The main example is the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Multiplication can be the first step when using the distributive property with subtraction. The distributive law of multiplication over subtraction is that the difference of the subtraction problem and then multiply, or multiply each individual products and then find the difference.

Because multiplication is distributive over addition.

The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.
Addition, by itself, does not have a distributive property. Multiplication has a distributive property over addition, according to which: a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
a*(b-c) = a*b - a*c
First, the word is there, not their. And, apart from you, who says there is no such law? because a*(b - c) = a*b - a*c and if that isn't the distributive property of multiplication over subtraction I don't know what is!
