Distributive Property<br />

Example 1<br />

For any numbers a, b, <strong>and</strong> c, a(b c) ab ac <strong>and</strong> (b c)a ba ca <strong>and</strong><br />

a(b c) ab ac <strong>and</strong> (b c)a ba ca.<br />

Rewrite 6(8 10) using the Distributive Property. Then evaluate.<br />

6(8 10) 6 8 6 10 Distributive Property<br />

48 60 Multiply.<br />

108 Add.<br />

Example 2<br />

Rewrite 2(3x 2 5x 1) using the Distributive Property.<br />

Then simplify.<br />

2(3x 2 5x 1) 2(3x 2 ) (2)(5x) (2)(1) Distributive Property<br />

6x 2 (10x) (2) Multiply.<br />

6x 2 10x 2 Simplify.<br />
