What is the distributive property of 7x6

The distributive property helps us to rewrite the expression and to get the same answer. The rule is: a * ( b + c ) = a * b + a * c. In this case: 7 * 6 = 7 * ( 3 + 3 ) = 7 * 3 + 7 * 3 = 21 + 21 = 42. And also : 7 * 6 = 42. We can use it also like this: 7 * 6 = 7 * ( 5 + 1 ) = 7 * 5 + 7 * 1 = 35 + 7 = 42, etc.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!
