    Distributive Property

    The distributive property states that when a factor is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, you can multiply each of the two numbers by that factor and then add them.

    ExampleEquation

    10 (x + 2) = 45

    Apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation by multiplying

    two numbers inside the parentheses by 10

    10 (x) + 10 (2) = 45

    Now add them

    10x + 20 = 45

    Rearrange the like terms

    10x = 45 - 20

    10x = 25

    x = 25/10

    x = 2.5
