distributive property is used for math an example is such as a(b + c) = ab + ac
Distributive Property
It's when you use parenthesis around some of the numbers in the equation.
Just distribute the -2 to the 4y and the -8:(-2 * 4y) + (-2 * -8)-8y + 1616 - 8y
14+6/5X11-7/3 Let's try solving that equation again, this time using PEMDAS. Step 1) Parenthesis. There aren't any. Move on. Step 2) Exponents. None. Keep going. Step 3) Multiplication and Division. Go from left to right, so divide 6 by 5 to get 1.2, and multiply that by 11 to get 13.2. Don't forget to divide 7 by 3 to get 7/3 (about 2.33). Step 4) Addition and Subtraction. From left to right, 14 + 13.2 = 27.2, subtract 7/3 and get your answer: about 24.867. Let's try solving that equation again, this time using PEMDAS. Step 1) Parenthesis. There aren't any. Move on.

The whole idea is just to follow the rule: PEMDAS. 14+6/5x11-7/3 14+1.2x11-7/3 14+13.2-7/3 27.2-7/3 24.876
