12 x 18 = (12 x 10) + (12 x 8)
(2 x 12) + (3 x 12) = 5 x 12
(4 x 12) + (5 x 12) = 9 x 12 = 108
You do not need the distributive property for to do that!
2(x+6)=2x+12. This is an example of the distributive property.

12 x 18 = (12 x 10) + (12 x 8)
5 x 5 = 25
The GCF of 12 and 20 is 4. The distributive property states that 12 x 20 = 10 x 20 + 2 x 20 = 200 + 40 = 240 4(3 + 5)
(2 x 12) + (3 x 12) = 5 x 12
GCF(16, 12) = 4. The distributive property is an attribute of two mathematical operations - not of numbers.
40 x 27 does not exhibit the distributive property.
(4 x 12) + (5 x 12) = 9 x 12 = 108
You do not need the distributive property for to do that!
(2 x 12) + (3 x 12) = 5 x 12 = 60
