(30+9)*5=?
distributive is breaking apart a big number to make multiplication easier. To do this you basically multiplying inside the parentheses, and add them together.(30*5)+(9*5)=?
Can someone please help me?
I have to turn in this homework really soon and I'm only stuck on this last question.
"Describe how you would use the distributive property to simplify 39 x 5"
I don't know how Distributive property works and if somebody could at least explain that would be great :)

Thank you so much for the help!
This also works with division for future reference.
maybe the simplification they are looking for is ... 39 = 40 - 1
5 * (40 - 1) = 200 - 5 ... easy numbers...
5 * (40 - 1) = 200 - 5 ... easy numbers...
heyyyyyyy who wants my number????????????????????????????
