Distributive Property

the property that states that multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products

• associative property

• commutative property

• distributive property

• math property

Which equation shows the distributive property?

• 6 x 3 + 6 x 8 = 6 x (3 + 8)

• 5 + (22 + 19) = (5 + 22) + 19

• 20 x 10 = 10 x 20

• 45 + 7 = 7 + 45

Break down the number into addends.

Distribute your number out.

Multiply your addends by your number.

Add your answers together.

256 x 3 = (200 x 3) + (50 x 3) + (6x3) = 600 + 150 + 18 = 768.
