Given:

The objective is to explain distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is multiplicatio of two numbers by expanding the numbers.

Example:

Consider the multiplication of 32x36. The multiplication can be performed by distributive property as,


\begin{gathered} 32*36=32(30+6) \\ =32*30+32*6 \\ =960+192 \\ =1152 \end{gathered}

Hence, distributive property is expansion of one of a pair of numbers for multiplication.
