You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ok the distributive property is not that hard its something simple if you get someone taht can explain it good
well the way i look at is its like this
everyone in your class room is getting a cell phone and they didnt give you one thats not good? is it? well you need to think like that with numbers
1(a+2j+12k)
just do it like this and dont let anyone make fun of the way you do things as long as on that test you get the right answer
ok what is supposted to be given to everyone in the class room in this priblem is going to be 1 so lets give it out
1(a)
+1(2j)
+1(12k)
ok now lets put it back
1a+2j+12k

and since i know 1 was not really a good example i will give you another one
2(2d+5d+d)
2(2d)
+2(5d)
+2(d)
4d+10d+2d
lets take it to the next step

2(2d-5d+d)
2(2d)
+2(-5d)
+2(d)

4d-10d+2d
then after that you can just finish the problem
