Distributive property states that for any expression of the form a (b + c), which means a × (b + c), operand 'a' can be distributed among operands 'b' and 'c' as (a × b) + (a × c).

Let us look at an example to understand the distributive property.

Solved Example:

Solve 3(4 + 5) using the distributive property.

Solution:

According to the distributive property,

a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)

Writing the giving expression in the above form we get,

3 × (4 + 5)  = (3 × 4) + (3 × 5)

                  = (3 × 4) + (3 × 5)

                  = 12 + 15

                  = 27

Therefore, 3(4 +5) = 27. 

Similarly, you can use the calculator to find the values of the following expressions.

• 8(12+3)
• 7(5+3)
• 4(2+9)
