what are/is the law of distrabutive property in maths
Answers
Answer:
The Distributive Law says that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately. Example: 3 × (2 + 4) = 3×2 + 3×4. So the "3" can be "distributed" across the "2+4" into 3 times 2 and 3 times 4.

Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c). The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of multiplication and division.
Normally when we see an expression like this …

we just evaluate what’s in the parentheses first, then solve it:

This is following the official “order of operations” rule that we’ve learned in the past.
With the distributive property, we multiply the ‘4’ first:

We distribute the 4 to the 8, then to the 3.
Then we need to remember to multiply first, before doing the addition!
We got the same answer, 44, with both approaches!
Why did we do it differently when we could have easily worked out what was in the brackets first?
This is preparation for when we have variables instead of numbers inside the parentheses.
