Well first of all (most important) I should find out what the words mean to me (since the questions only show definitions) and I know that decompose means breaking down a number and <u><em>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY </em></u>is a state and that’s what makes it really simple. Also, if we said
”To <u><em>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY</em></u> a number means to break it into parts.” Wouldn’t sound proper. :3
