Answer 1

Answer:

Remember that there are several ways to write multiplication. 3 x 6 = 3(6) = 3 • 6.

3 • (2 + 4) = 3 • 6 = 18.

Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition

The distributive property of multiplication over addition can be used when you multiply a number by a sum. For example, suppose you want to multiply 3 by the sum of 10 + 2.

3(10 + 2) = ?

According to this property, you can add the numbers and then multiply by 3.

3(10 + 2) = 3(12) = 36. Or, you can first multiply each addend by the 3. (This is called distributing the 3.) Then, you can add the products.

The multiplication of 3(10) and 3(2) will each be done before you add.

3(10) + 3(2) = 30 + 6 = 36. Note that the answer is the same as before.
