well it means a number times another is equal to a number plus another=
4x5=20+0

No. The correct answer is as follows:
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.
Its quiet simple. All you have to know is that when you use the distributive property in math, it's most likely and equation. So you basically remove the parentheses. AKA(expanding the equation)
You do not need the distributive property for to do that!

The distributive property in math is (in variable definition) : a(b+c)=ab+ac For example you could use the distributive property to simplify this expression: 3(x+4) (3)(x) + (3)(4) 3x+12 is your answer! Hope this helps! -dancinggirl25
The distributive property is a characteristic that two mathematical operators may have. Numbers do not have a distributive property.
They are the associative property, distributive property and the commutative property.
Distributive property
The distributive property need not have any k in it.
It means nothing, really. The distributive property is a property of multiplication over addition or subtraction. It has little, if anything, to do with integers.

Its quiet simple. All you have to know is that when you use the distributive property in math, it's most likely and equation. So you basically remove the parentheses. AKA(expanding the equation)
2x(a+3b)=2xa+6xb
The distributive property is when you take you number is share it with all the other numbers in the parenthesis. An example is x(2 + 3) = 2x + 3X.
a(b + c) = ab + ac
distributive, associative, commutative, and identity (also called the zero property)
