Distributive property means to distribute a part of something to different properties.

Distributive property can be also called distributive law of multiplication

For example:

a(b + c)

To solve the expression above using distributive property, expand by multiplying the number outside the parentheses to the numbers inside parentheses, then add the products together.

We have:


\begin{gathered} a(b\text{ + c) } \\ \\ \text{= a(b) + a(c) } \\ \\ \text{= ab + ac} \end{gathered}

Using your own words, we have:


\text{ion(affect + attract)}

Distribute the ion to the words inside the parentheses:


\begin{gathered} \text{ ion(affect + attract)} \\ \\ =\text{affect(ion) + attract(ion)} \\ \\ =\text{affection + attraction} \end{gathered}
