4(10+2) using the distributive property would be to distribute both variables in () to 4. I call it the candy factory. The 4 is the so called "Candy" and the numbers in the () are the customers. Since the customers are children, you have to give them both equal amounts of candy or they will be upset. Therefore, the equation above using the distributive property would be 40 + 8. If you would need to add those together, It would be 48.
