Question

Can someone help me understand Distrbutie property or 11th grade math,I have a website 4 it i jus need 1 on 1 help if you have yahoo im can you tell me your link so you can help me

Answer 1

The word is spelled "distributive, as in "to distribute." In the use of this property, parts of one group are distributed among the parts of another group.

Answer 2

(a + b) (c + d)

ac + ad + bc + bd

or a(b + c)

ab+ac

Answer 3

basically you multiply each item within the parentheses such as...

a(b+c) = ab + ac

2(x + y) = 2x + 2y

3(x +y +z) = 3x + 3y + 3x

hope this helps :)

Answer 4

I just use FOIL....FIRST OUTER INNER LAST

The guy above me gave a good example though.
