Answer 1

The DISTRIBUTIVE property is a property of multiplication over addition (or subtraction). In symbolic terms, it states that

a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c

Answer 2

Distributive property is a property that can be applied at multiplication over addition.

for example :If the some is given like this:

3 x(7+8)

3 x 15

(3 x7)+(3 x 8)

21+24

45

This is called as distributive property . We are using this property to make the some easy . We can use either the first one or the second one.
