What is an example of distributive property?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Here is an example of the distributive property:

4(3x+5)=12x+20

You distribute the 4.

Answer 3

5(14 + 10) = 5(14) + 5(10)
