Answer:
Distributive property is when you multiply or add the numbers in the parentheses equally to the number outside the parentheses.
That probably isn't a good answer, here's what I found on google:
To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something. According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.
Explanation:
I'll do #10 as an example:
(x-5)y
distribute the numbers- y(x)-y(5)
without the parentheses- yx-y5
you can't really get an answer by multiplying a number and a variable, or a variable and a variable, so you just leave them and take the parentheses.
Here's #11:
-4(2a-3b+c)
distribute the numbers- (-4*2a)-(-4*3b)+(-4c)
solve- -4*2= -8
-4*3= -12
-8a-(-12)b+4c
*I dunno how to use parentheses for negative numbers but what I did for distributing is pretty much the same thing
Hope this helps you.
