Distributive property 7*8 = (4*8) + (3*8)

Okay ...

First do the problems inside the parenthesis

4 x 8 = 32

and

3 x 8 = 24

Now the problem is

7 x 8 = 32 + 24

Now add the right side of the problem

32 + 24 = 56

Distributive property is basically putting number in groups or taking them out ...

The answer would be ...

7 x 8 = 56
