Proof: Distributive Property | Algebra

[@theuserings]

When we are saying like 3(5), that means we are adding 5 three times, or adding 3 five times. 3(5) = 5 + 5 + 5 Using that would also work for variables. 3(a + b) means we are adding a + b three times. So 3(a + b) = (a + b) + (a + b) + (a + b) Simplifying this will give us 3a +3b

Yes! Was trying to capture that idea in a visual form but i realised i need to change that explanation cos what happens if we multiply hy negative numbers, or fractions, or irrationals as another comment poonted out Still scrating my head thinkin abt it, but thanks for the comment n explanation!

[@TheBurgosbrandon]

can you proof it with out a using geometry? and just algebra? and what about negative numbers?

[@manicmath3557]

Ooo thats a good idea! Yea looking back on this video it is not very good pr intuitive. I will try a revision thats a better explanation

I said it as Sistributative property. Its actually Distributive. Theres no ta So i said it wrong woops
