In algebra, distribution means to spread out terms equally across an expression. We refer to what we're doing as the distributive property, which can be defined as a(b + c) = ab + ac. Why do we distribute? It's a way of simplifying expressions.

Algebraic distribution means to multiply each of the terms within the parentheses by another term that is outside the parentheses.

So if we multiply that by x we'll get xMoreThe first term is x squared which is the same as x times x. So if we multiply that by x we'll get x cubed since that would be three x's multiplied. Together the next term is negative eight x.

Distributive property with variables Multiply, or distribute, the outer term to the inner terms. Combine like terms. Arrange terms so constants and variables are on opposite sides of the equals sign. Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.
