The distributive property in symbols:
a x (b+c) = a x b + a x c
(I used "x" for multiplication, for clarity; the multiplication is usually omitted.)
For a specific example, just replace the letters a, b, and c, by any number.

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.
An example of the distributive property is 5 x (10 + 2) = (5 x 10) + (5 x 2), or in more general form, A(B+C) = AB+AC
The distributive property is a characteristic that two mathematical operators may have. Numbers do not have a distributive property.
The distributive property is a property for multiplying with parentheses. It states that a(b+c)=ab+ac. The means that 3(x+2)=3x+6, for example. Basically, the distributive property says you must multiply everything within the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.
