Distributive Property

What does the Distributive Property mean?

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = ab + ac is true.

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = ab x ac is true.

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = a + b + a + c is true.

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = a - b + ac is true.

Rewrite using the Distributive Property: 6(3 + 6)

• (6x3) + 6

• 63

• (6x3) + (6x6)

• 18 + 36
