Question

using-only numbers, and not letters, write your own equation that illustrate the distributive property

your equation should show that you are `distributing`` multiplication over addition instead of adding what inside the parentheses first

(10a)58=(58x10)a

Answer 1

what you have there is a combination of associative property and commutative property of multiplication

distribution would be like

3(1+2)= 3*1+3*2=3+6

Answer 2

you need a plus sign inside the parentheses
like for example
\[5\times (2+8)\]
