I need math help
Ok, people, I'm exposing my ignorance for all to see
 I'm trying to help my son with his math homework. Apparently I do not understand the concept of distributive property. Well, I understand it in a vague sense. I just cannot apply it lol. How would the following expressions be rewritten using the distributive property? 35 x 27 61 x 19 214 x 73 725 x 48 thx!

If what La said is true then:
35 x 27 // (5x7) x (3x9) 61 x 19 // (6x10+1) x (3x6+1) 214 x 73 // (21x10+4) x (9x8+1) 725 x 48 // (29x25) x (6x8) Maybe?

the definition is a rule that the same product results in multiplication when performed on a set of numbers as when performed on members of the set individually.
So yeah- it is just another way to write the problem by breaking up the factors into their own problems.
