You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I hope this is what you mean, distributive property of multiplication over addition: Always multiply before adding.
It looks like this example 3(2+5)
In terms this is what its saying is (3*2 + 3*5) or another way to put this is 3(2) + 3(5)
How you solve is 3*2=6 and 3*5=15
6+15=21
Your answer is 21
