Hey there!
The Distributive Property states that
a(b+c)=ab+ac
Basically, we take a number/variable a and distribute it by multiplying it times b and c.
a, b, and c can be either constants or variables; this is just a formula.
However, this property is really useful when it comes to simplifying expressions like 3(5x+7) :)
In order to simplify this expression, we should take 3 and distribute it.
15x+21
Hope everything is clear.
Let me know if you have any questions!
