4th hour lesson 2-3

Today I learned about The Distributive Property.

Using The Distributive Property is a way of simplifying a problem.

For Example, 2(x+6).

To solve this with The Distributive Property, you would take 2 times whatever is in parenthesis which in this case would be x+6.

So, it would look like this>>2x+12.

I got this answer because I took 2 times x(2x) and then I took 2 times 6(12).

This would be your answer.

Now it's your turn to try Mrs. Gray's favorite property.

Hey Ashley,

That's the best way I've seen something explained for a while
