[QUOTE="Feet Dry, post: 2038616, member: 1332"] Distributive property of multiplication over addition. Early Algebra problem. The distributive property of multiplication CLEARLY states that the 2(9+3) is an entire statement and CANNOT be broken up. 2(9+3) follows the distributive property which can be rewritten as (2*9+2*3). Let me repeat the 2 outside of the parenthesis follows the distributive property of multiplication and must be factored and simplified before performing any other operations on it. You do NOT compute this expression from left to right until you use Algebra to simplify the statement 2(9+3). So this can be rewritten as: 48 / (2*9 + 2*3) Which leaves us with 48 / 24 = 2 Answer = 2 [/QUOTE]
