Example Question #1 :How To Find The Distributive Property

Which expression demonstrates the Distributive Property?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 2+3+4=3+2+4

\dpi{100} 2\times 1=2

\dpi{100} 2(4+3)=(2\times 4)+(2\times 3)

\dpi{100} 2+4=4+2

有限公司rrect answer:

\dpi{100} 2(4+3)=(2\times 4)+(2\times 3)

Explanation:

The distributive property involves multiplying each term inside of the parentheses by the term outside of the parentheses. The distributive property is:

\dpi{100} a(b+c)=(a\times b)+(b\times c)

Example Question #5 :How To Find The Distributive Property

Simplify.

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

By the distributive property, you must multiply both numbers within the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses. In this case, the expression becomes

Example Question #6 :How To Find The Distributive Property

Which answer choice represents the distributive property?

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

The distributive property involves multiplying the outside term by the first term in the parentheses and then adding/subtracting it to the product of the outside term and the second term of the parentheses. Since there's a plus sign, we're adding. Therefore, the result is.

Example Question #7 :How To Find The Distributive Property

Solve for:

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

The distributive property is needed to solve this problem. The distributive property is.


Now to solve for x we need to subtract 24 from both sides.

From here we need to divide by 3.

Example Question #1 :How To Find The Distributive Property

Use the distributive property to expand the expression:

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

The distributive property is needed to solve this problem. The distributive property is. In this particular, case the FOIL technique should be used to expand this expression. FOIL is an acronym that helps students remember to multiply thefirst terms in each parentheses, then theoutside terms in each parentheses, followed by multiplying theinside terms and then finally multiplying thelast terms in each parentheses.







The final step to expand this expression is to combine like terms. Thus, the correct answer is

Example Question #9 :How To Find The Distributive Property

Example Question #10 :How To Find The Distributive Property

Use the distributive property to simply the expression

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

The distributive property is needed to evaluate this expression. The distributive property is

We will apply the distributive property to both terms inside the parentheses.

Now we plug these values back into the expression to get:
