Its actually quite easy. just do something like this.
If the problem is... lets say 4(5n-1) [Taken straight off the homework I'm doing now]
it would be
4 x 5n - 4 x 1
I think it as. your Distributing the numbers in the parenthesis. To the number outside the parenthesis.
Hope this helps you
here is an example:
4(x+4)
5(x-6)
1000(-5+4)
just have a number outside and some numbers in perentheses that can be distributed by the number outside.
its the opposite of whatthe problem is it
3X3X3X6
We cannot describe distributive property via answers.com
Distibutive Property
the distibutive property
distibutive property of muliplication over additio <;jhenny;>
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.

3*(a + b) = 3*a + 3*b or a*(b + 2) = a*b + a*2
The distributive property is a property that relates to two binary operations and operates over a set.According to the distributive property of multiplication over division, if a, b and c are three elements of a set S, thena*(b + c) = a*b+a*cMultiplication is also distributive over subtraction.
(72/5)*5 = 7*5 + (2/5)*5 = 35 + 2 = 37
They are the associative property, distributive property and the commutative property.
