How to use the Distributive Property
The Distributive Property is a way to simplify expressions. The Distributive Property is used when you are given a number, or constant, on the outside of a set of parenthesis with at least two terms on the inside of the parenthesis. When using the Distributive Property you must take the term on the outside of the parenthesis and distributive it to everything on the inside of the parenthesis. When distributing, you must include the signs on the terms that are being multiplied together. You can tell if you did the Distributive Property correctly because there should be no parenthesis left in the expression.
