How to solve two simple multiplication problems using distributive property?

Using the distributive property allows us to solve two simpler multiplication problems. We can change 4 imes 12 4 ×12 into 4 imes (ealD {10} + greenC {2}) 4×(10 +2). The array of dots on the left shows (ealD {4 imes 10}) (4 ×10).

What is a distributive property?

Review the basics of the distributive property, and try some practice problems. What is the distributive property? The distributive property says that in a multiplication problem, when one factor is rewritten as the sum of two numbers, the product doesn't change. [What does "rewritten as the sum of two numbers" mean?]

How to divide 96 by 8 using distributive property?

Suppose we want to divide the number 96 by 8, then we can use the division distributive property for it. Example: Solve 96 ÷ 8 using the distributive property of division. The properties of a number can be divided into three types which are commutative property, associative property and the distributive property.

How do you solve X X with a distributive property?

Example 9: Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation. Start by distributing 4 4 into the first parenthesis followed by distributing – 1 –1 into the second parenthesis. Next, combine similar terms that arise after eliminating the parentheses. Finally, solve x x by isolating it to the left side.
