Question 348807: How do I expand by Distributave Property? Here is the question.
mx(ab-b)
Answer by nyc_function(2741)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! mx(ab-b) =
Just multiply every term inside the parentheses by the term outside the
parentheses. Doing this will clear the parentheses.
mx times ab = abmx
mx times -b = -bmx
Final answer: abmx - bmx
After looking at your question a bit more carefully, I noticed that the term
outside the parentheses is missing the letter b.
In other words, when factoring abmx - bmx, the correct factored answer is
bmx(a - 1).
Understand?
