1. Operations on rational numbers
DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY
A (B + C) = AB + AC

2. Distributive property Explanation
When you multiply or distribute a number that is outside the parentheses with each and every number inside the parentheses and then add all the number parts together.
Example : 2 ( ) = 2(3) + 2(4) =
= 14

3. Distributive property word problem
Two times three plus five of a number
2 (3 + 5 ) = 2(3) + 2(5) =
= 16

4. Distributive property
Three times four plus two of a number, minus two times five plus six of a number.
3 (4 + 2) – 2(5 + 6) = 3(4) + 3(2) – 2(+5) – 2(6)
= –10 –12)
= 18 – 10 – 12
= + 8 – 12
= – 4
