Question

1) Explain the Distributive Property in your own words.

2) Give an example that shows how to use the Distributive Property to rewrite a one-variable expression.

Answer 1

The Distributive Property states that when a number in parentheses is next to a number, you distribute the number outside of the parentheses and multiply by each of the numbers in parentheses.

5(10+x)=5(10)+5(x)=50+5x
