The distributive property is one of the fundamental properties of arithmetic and algebra. It states that for any numbers a, b, and c: a(b+c)=ab+ac. Or in the case of subtraction: a(b−c)=ab−ac

A. An example of the distributive property is: 2n(m−1)=2nm−2n

Applying the Distributive Property in the given example 2n(m−1)=2nm−2n:

1. Original Expression: 2n(m−1)

2. Distribute the 2n: Multiply 2n by each term inside the parentheses:

①Multiply 2n by m: 2n⋅m=2nm

②Multiply 2n2 by −1: 2n⋅(−1)=−2n
