Example Question #1 : How To Find The Distributive Property
Which of the following expressions is equal to according to the distributive property of multiplication over addition?
According to the distributive property, for any values of ,
If we set , this becomes the statement
.
Note that two of the other choices are equal to , but for different reasons; is equivalent because of the commutative property of addition, and is equivalent because of the commutative property of multiplication. The other two choices are not equal to at all.
