\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "recall:
\n" ); document.write( "equation $\"a%28b+%2B+c%29\"$ , which also can be written as $\"%28ab%29+%2B+%28ac%29\"$ because the distributive property dictates that $\"a\"$ , which is outside the parenthetical, must be multiplied by both $\"b\"$ and $\"c\"$ . In other words, you are distributing the multiplication of $\"a\"$ between both $\"b\"$ and $\"c\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since you have to multiply $\"4276\"$ by $\"10\"$ , in order to use distributive property you need to write $\"4276\"$ as a sum of $\"4000\"$ , $\"200\"$ , $\"70\"$ , and $\"6\"$ : \r
