Distributive Property 30 + 4
The Distributive Property
shows how a number can
be written as two equivalent
expressions. A number 9 9 × 30 9 ×4
can be expressed as both
a product and a sum.
Multiplication is distributed
over addition. It can be 9 # 34 = 9(30 + 4)
helpful for understanding = 9(30) + 9(4)
