Math Antics: The Distributive Property

What is the distributive property?

"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."
source: splashlearn.com

The Distributive Property Uses Parentheses

-Remember a number or letter right next to parentheses means to MULTIPLY. In this case you come up with the same answer both ways.

Use of Variables:

Many times, problems using the distributive property use variables

Multiple Choice

Solve: x(5 + 2)

5x + 2

5x + 2x

Variables x Variables

Ex.) a(a-2)
a multiplied times a equals a²
The final answer is: a²-2a
We add an exponent for every time we multiply a
ex.) a(a²-2)= a³-2a²

Multiple Choice

What is y(2 +y)

2y + y²

2y + y

Negative Numbers/Variables

Negative numbers x positive numbers are always negative. Negative numbers are variables include anything with the subtraction symbol in front of it. ex.) 2(5x-2)= 10x -4
Negative Numbers/Variables x Negative Numbers/Variables are always POSITIVE (again incluces subtraction sign). ex.) -2(5x -2)= -10x + 4
