Examples:

Here are a few examples of the Distributive Property:

You can use small numbers within your equations: 5(2+4)=10+20

OR

You can also use larger numbers: 13(72+39)= 936+507

This is the breakdown for the above problems:

1.) 5(2+4)=10+20        You can check to see if this equation is correct by doing this:
     5*2=10                          (2+4)=6 then 6*5=30 then you simply do 10+20=30
     5*4=20                           therefore 30=30
           =
       10+2

2.) 13(72+39)=936+507     You can check to see if this equation is correct by doing this:
      13*72=936                   (72+39)=111 then 111*13=1443 then you do 936+507=1443
      13*39=507                   therefore 1443=1443
                =
          936+507
