Explanation: “The distributive property is where a number or value is distributed into a whole equation. Based on the work below as you can see I “distributed” 5 to (3m+4n) meaning I multiplied 5&3m and 5&4n, when I multiply 5&3 that give me 15, and when I multiply 5&4 that gives me 20. So when finally simplified my new equation is 15m+20n”
Make sure when you is the distributive property that you always add the variables because it will be wrong.
