Question 217937: When do you use the distributive property
Answer by RAY100(1637) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In general,,,when we have to multiply one term (or more) times a variable with more than one term.
.
for example,,,,2(x+1) = 2*x +2*1 = 2x +2
,
Also, for mental math, it is often easier,,,for example
.
49 *2 = (50-1)*2 = 100-2=98
.
or 1.99 *3 = (2-.01)*3 = 6-.03 = 5.97
.
