- 2. The Distributive Property The process of distributing the number on the outside of the parentheses to each term on the inside. a(b + c) = ab + ac a(b - c) = ab - ac Example #1 5(2 + 7) 5 2 + 5 7 10 + 35 = 45
- 3. Example #2 3(m - 4) 3 m - 3 4 3m - 12 Example #3 -2(y + 3) -2 y + (-2) 3 -2y + (-6) -2y - 6
- 4. Which statement demonstrates the distributive property incorrectly ? 3(x + y + z) = 3x + 3y + 3z c(a + b) = ca + cb 5(2 + 3x) = 10 + 3x 6(3k - 4) = 18k - 24 Answer Now
