Enter a, b, and c below:
Given a = 3, b = 5, and c = 6:
Prove the Distributive Property
Distributive Property Definition:
a(b + c) = a(b) + a(c)
We read this three ways:
- The sum of a and b times c
- a times b plus c
- The product of a times b plus c
Plug in a = 3, b = 5, c = 6:
3(5 + 6) = 3(5) + 3(6)
We read this two ways:
- 5 and 6 times 3
- 3 times 5 plus 6
Simplifying, we get:
3(11) = 15 + 18
33 = 33
