Can someone explain to me what distributive property is?

1.3 (x + 1)

2.5 (x + 8)

3. (x - 6)

4.7 (x - 2)

3x+3, 5x+40, 4x-24, 7x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive property allows you to multiply a sum by multiplying each number in the parentheses separately and then adding the products. This is incredibly useful when the terms in the parentheses cannot be added easily.

1. 3 (x+1)

3*x+3*1

3x+3

2. 5 (x+8)

5*x+5*8

5x+40

3. 4 (x-6)

4*x-4*6

4x-24

4. 7 (x-2)

7*x-7*2

7x-14
