Theater tickets cost $14\$14 dollars for adults (a),\ $8\$ 8 for children (c).

Each person who went to the theater on Thursday made a $5\$5 contribution to charity.

An expression using the Distributive Property

b(a+c)=ba+bcb(a+c)=ba+bc

First, multiply the 5 by each of the terms inside the parentheses.

5(14+8)5\cdot (14+8)

Next, simplify each part of the expression and then add.

=514+58=110=5\cdot 14+5\cdot 8=110
