a property indicating a special way in which multiplication is applied to addition of two or more numbers in which each term inside a set of parentheses can be multiplied by a factor outside the parentheses, such as a(b + c) = ab + ac
Distributive Property
15
Only one value for the variable would make the equation true. When solving the equation, you are left with a variable equal to a constant
One solution
15
No value for the variable would make the equation. When solving the equation, you are left with unequal constants.
No Solution (Null Set)
15
Any value for the variable would make the equation true. When solving the equation, both sides are equal.
Infinitely many solutions
