In this example, the 5 was distributed. 5 x 38 = 5 x (30 + 8) = (5 x 30) + (5 x 8)
In this example, the 7 was distributed. 7 x 46 = 7 x (40 + 6) = (7 x 40) + (7 x 6)

A swimming pool has a shallow end and a deep end A swimming pool has a shallow end and a deep end. Find the surface area of the pool. deepwater 8 yds shallow water 5 yds 10 yds
Break the pool into a deep end and a shallow end. deepwater 8 yds 8 yds shallow water 10 yds 5 yds
Find the area of the deep end. deepwater 8 yds 8 yds shallow water 10 yds 5 yds
Find the area of the deep end. 8 x 5 = 40 8 yds 8 yds shallow water 10 yds 5 yds
Find the area of the shallow end. 8 x 5 = 40 8 yds 8 yds shallow water 10 yds 5 yds
Find the area of the shallow end. 8 x 5 = 40 8 yds 8 yds 8 x 10 = 80 10 yds 5 yds
Now sum the two areas together. 8 x 5 = 40 8 yds 8 yds 8 x 10 = 80 10 yds 5 yds
Now sum the two areas together. 40 80 + 8 yds 10 yds 5 yds
40 + 80 = 120 square yards 40 80 8 yds 5 yds 10 yds
Write an expression that shows how to find the area of the rectangle and uses the distributive property. 9 yds 5 yds 20 yds
Find the areas for each individual rectangle. 9 yds 5 yds 20 yds
Find the areas for each individual rectangle. 9 yds (9 x 5) 5 yds 20 yds
Find the areas for each individual rectangle. 9 yds (9 x 5) (9 x 20) 5 yds 20 yds
Sum the two areas. 9 yds + (9 x 5) (9 x 20) 5 yds 20 yds
(9 x 5) + (9 x 20) = area 9 yds (9 x 5) (9 x 20) 5 yds 20 yds
