Distributive Property of Multiplication

Write 2 equations that match the array.

• ( 4 x 3) + (4 x 3)

• ( 3 x 4) + ( 4 x 3)

• ( 4 x 2 ) + ( 4 x 5)

Use the distributive property to solve: (5x2)+(5x5)

• 10+10 = 20

• 15+15 = 30

• 10+25 = 35

Use the distributive property to solve: (4x3)+(4x5)

• 12+20 = 32

• 20+25 = 45

• 20+20 = 32

Answer explanation

To simplify the expression, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2(3x) + 2(4) + x = 6x + 8 + x = 7x + 8. Therefore, the correct choice is 7x + 8.

Break apart 9 x 9

• (9 x 4) + (9 x 5)

• (9 x 3) + (9 x 7)

• (9 x 3) + (9 x 7)

How could the distributive property be used to solve 3x9?

• (3x6) +(3x3)

• (9x3) + (9x3)

• (3x3) + (9x5)

How is this array broken apart?

• (2x8) + (2x8)

• (2x3) + (2x3)

• (2x4) + (4x5)

How is this array broken apart?

• (5x5) + (5x2)

• (5x8) + (5x8)

• 5(4+9)

Solve using the distributive property: 
5x18=

• 90

• 23

• 45

• 58

Which shows 89  x 3 using the Distributive Property?

• (800 x 3) + (9 x 3)

• (80 x 3) + (9 x 3)

• (8 x 3) + (9 x 3)
