  2. Distributive Property • The Distributive Property is an identity used to simplify an equation with parentheses. • In general, a(b + c)= a×b + a×c • For example, 5(4+7). • Youmultiply 5 by 4 (you get 20) andthen 5 by 7 (you get 35). Then, youadd the twoproductstogetherand get youranswer, 55. • 5(4+7) = 5×4 + 5×7 • 20 + 35 = 55

  3. Example

  4. Practice • Distribute: 8(9 + 5) 4(2 + 5)

  5. Practice • 42 + 12 = 6(7+2) • Is it true or false? Explain your thinking.
