it is when you distribute a number by the numbers inside of the (). Such as 9 (6*7)

It would be 54*63. Hope this helps! :)

I hope it does not because it is so very WRONG!

9(6*7) is 9*42 = 378 and is an illustration of the associative property.

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.
