The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c. Therefore, applying this property to 18 x 24 would result in 18 x 24 = 18 x (20 - 2) = (18 x 20) - (18 x 2) = 360 - 36 = 324.
12 x 18 = (12 x 10) + (12 x 8)
The distributive property is a red herring for this question: you do not need it! The distributive property is applicable when you have two binary operations - multiplication and addition, for example. This question has nothing of the sort. Perhaps you meant some other property.
(2 x 12) + (3 x 12) = 5 x 12
This uses the distributive property.
35 x 3 = (30 x 3) + (5 x 3) = 90 + 15 = 105
