The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In the case of 45 and 18, applying the distributive property would give us 45(18) = 45 * 18. By multiplying 45 by 18, we get the result of 810.

Oh, dude, the distributive property just means you can multiply a number by each part of a sum or difference. So, for 45 * 18, you can break it down like 45 * (10 + 8) and then distribute the 45 to both parts to get 45 * 10 + 45 * 8. It's like giving each number its fair share of the multiplication party.
The "distributive property" involves multiplication and addition, and there must be at least three numbers involved.

(40+200)+(5+80)
45*60 can be written as (40+5)*60 and the distributive propoerty used to evaluate it. However, the associative property is much better 45*60 = 45*(2*30) = (45*2)*30 = 90*30 = 2700
The distributive property does not apply to addition by itself. So, unfortunately, the question does not make sense.
