What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a factor across a sum or difference.

Explain how to simplify the expression 8(2x + 7).

Back

By distributing 8 to both terms inside the parentheses: 8 * 2x + 8 * 7 = 16x + 56.

What does it mean to factor an expression using the Distributive Property?

Back

Factoring means rewriting an expression as a product of its factors, such as turning 12x + 36 into 12(x + 3).
