Distributive property calculator

When we are performing numerical operations on numbers such as addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, there are some rules or properties we follow. Distributive property is one such property which is applied to both numbers as well as polynomial expressions. Distributive property calculator is an easy tool which can help with calculations based on it.

Example 1: Calculate the value of the given numbers (or constants): 6 (3 + 5)

Given numerical expression: 6 (3 + 5)

We can use the Distributive property which says è a (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c), where a, b, c are numbers.

So if a number is being multiplied from outside the parenthesis, we can distribute that number inside the parenthesis to every

term!

6 (3 + 5) = (6 * 3) + (6 * 5)

18 + 30 = 48

6(3 + 5) = 48

Example 2: Evaluate the value of the given numerical expression using Distributive property: -2 (4 + 1)

Given numerical expression: -2 (4 + 1)

We can use the Distributive property which says è a (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c), where a, b, c are numbers.

So here ‘-2’ is multiplied from outside to the parenthesis è we can distribute ‘-2’ inside the parenthesis to every term!

-2 (4 +1) = (-2 * 4) + (-2 * 1)

-8 – 2 = -10

-2(4 + 1) = -10

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

I have enjoyed my session with Aparna and it was helpful. I will hope to see her as my Math tutor in future sessions as well.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
