Given a = , b = , and c = :

Prove the Distributive Property

Distributive Property Definition:

a(b + c) = a(b) + a(c)

We read this three ways:

  1. The sum of a and b times c
  2. a times b plus c
  3. The product of a times b plus c

Plug in a = , b = , c = :

0(0 + 0) = 0(0) + 0(0)

We read this two ways:

  1. 0 and 0 times 0
  2. 0 times 0 plus 0

Simplifying, we get:

0(0) = 0 + 0

0 = 0
