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!
