How do i “use the distributive property to rewrite the expression as a product? ”

Okay so let's say they give you an equation like this

2(12) + 24= blank

you would do 2 x 12 which would be 24 and then add another 24 which is 48.

Unless you're talking about variables too like

2(x+2)= 48

2x+4= 48

Subtract 4 on both sides

2x=44

x=22

So it just simplifies things. Hopefully this helps if it doesn't sorry
