Distributive property.

Distributive property in action.

Let's do the distributive property.

And it's just the distributive property.

Distributive property of multiplication over addition?

You could do the distributive property twice.

Distributive property that was an amateur mistake.

This is using the distributive law of multiplication over subtraction, usually just referred to as the distributive property.

I'm just doing the distributive property in reverse.

All I did is a distributive property here.

Let's do some problems with the distributive property.

And then you just do the distributive property.

So you see why the distributive property works.

And this, and I don't know if you've learned the distributive property yet, but this is just the distributive property.

I multiplied them just using the distributive property twice.

And then we can just apply the distributive property.

Use the distributive property to simplify the following fractions.

We did not use the distributive law just now.

In the distributive law, we multiply by 4 first.

This is the distributive property in action right here.

So we actually have to use the distributive property.

you don't even have to do all this distributive property

Well, here there's actually no distributive property to even do.

I actually just think of it as the distributive property twice.

But they want us to use the distributive law of multiplication.

They'll work for any numbers because the distributive property works for any numbers.

But if you want to use the distributive property, you distribute the 5.

We're just doing the distributive property in reverse over here. x plus 6.

So let's just try to solve this or evaluate this expression, then we'll talk a little bit about the distributive law of multiplication over addition, usually just called the distributive law.

Now, if we want to use the distributive property, well, you don't have to.

When you multiply these two binomials, you're really just doing the distributive property twice.

All right, and now we can just simplify that by doing the distributive property again.

But when they want us to use the distributive law, you'd distribute the 4 first.

And you have to multiply every term because it's the distributive property on both sides.

This whole thing is just an exercise in doing the reverse distributive property, if you will.

45 minus 20, and that is equal to 25, so this is using the distributive property right here.

You can think of it as FOlL if you like we're really just doing the distributive property twice.

Rewrite the expression five times 9 minus 4 that's in parentheses using the distributive law of multiplication over subtraction.

So the reason why they're saying the distributive property, you're essentially saying, let's divide this whole thing by 4.

And it's called the distributive law because you distribute the 4, and we're going to think about what that means.

Now, what's neat about this is we just kind of showed ourselves the distributive property, when we're dealing with these numbers.

Rewrite the expression 4 times, and then in parentheses we have 8 plus 3, using the distributive law of multiplication over addition.

The one thing I think I disagree with about Yochai's presentation is when he said the Internet causes this distributive capacity for innovation to come alive.

But the important thing to realize is essentially you just use the distributive property and realize that you can only add real terms to each other.

So 1x plus 0.25x, well that's just the same thing as 1 plus 0.25, plus x we're just doing the distributive property in reverse equals one hundred.
