According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number produces the same result as when each addend is multiplied individually by the number and the products are added together.
The distributive property states that an expression which is given in form of A (B + C) can be solved as A × (B + C) = AB + AC. This distributive law is also applicable to subtraction and is expressed as, A (B - C) = AB - AC. This means operand A is distributed between the other two operands.
