Answer 5

The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses. Take a look at the problem below.

Is that what you were looking for? @geny55

@geny55 Hello? lol

Answer 9

it was kinda what im looking for .. but can you describe the property in your own words because that sounds too smartyy lol

Answer 10

Hm. Well. Let's use that example. 5(x+6). You take the 5 and distribute it, which means you take the 5 and multiply it by what's in the parenthesis. First you do 5 times x, which is 5x then you take 5 times 6 which is 30. You come up with a total of 5x+30.

But if I were to try to define distribute property it would sound like:
The distributive property is when you multiply a term by two or more terms in the parenthesis.

It's basically what the actual definition is. It sounds smart but all it is is mulyiplying terms by another term. A term is either a single number or variable. A variable is a letter in place of a number.
