    This document discusses the distributive property of multiplication over addition and subtraction for rational numbers. It states that for any rational numbers a, b, and c: 1) a(b + c) = ab + ac 2) a(b - c) = ab - ac It then provides two examples using the distributive property to simplify expressions involving rational numbers.
