Question

How do you multiply using distributive property?

Answer 1

Not sure if this is what you meant but I hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on what you mean, there are two ways to multiply using the distributive property:

First way:

Using 5(4+2) as an example

5(4+2)

(5*4)+(5*2)

20+10

30

Second way:

Using 36*12 as an example

36*12

(30+6)*(10+2)

(30*10)+(30*2)+(6*10)+(6*2)

300+60+60+12

300+120+12

420+12

432
