Frankie Cooley · Answer 1

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products ... Consider the first example, the distributive property lets you "distribute" the 5 to both the 'x' and the '2'.

Jameson Rice · Answer 2

Answer: 4 (x-3) = 20

4x-4 (3) = 20

4x-12=20

4x-12+12=20+12

4x=32

4x/4 = 32/4

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

To "distribute" means to divide something or give a share or part of something.
