The rule of distributive property allows you to rewrite xa + xb as x (a + b).

So if x = 2, a = 3 and b = 4, xa + xb = x(a + b)
(2 * 3) + (2 * 4) = 2 (3 + 4)
6 + 8 = 14
14 = 14
...and so on. You may try it yourself with different variations.

Thank you for posting your question. I hope you found what you were after. Please feel free to ask me more.

The Distributive Property of Multiplication<span> is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.
</span><span>The two terms inside the parentheses cannot be added because they are not like terms. Therefore, a(x+b), the expression inside the parentheses, cannot be simplified any further. To simplify this multiplication, another method will be needed. This is where the Distributive Property comes in.</span>
