Question 13723: Could you please help me with distributive properties? For example = 4(x-2)
Dont understand how to use the distibutive property...Thanx! Answer by LilSkittleMd(119) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distributive property is when you distribute/multiply a value to whatever is in ( )
For example: 4(x-2)
Take 4*x and 4*-2
This gives you 4x-8
Another example: 5(x+y)
The answer would be 5x+5y. Multiply the value outside the ( ) by each value inside the ( )
Hope that helps!
