Answer

The distributive property is given as $a(b+c)=ab+ac$.

Work Step by Step

For example, find number $x$ whose double value of the successor of the number is equal to $20$. The sentence can be translated into the equation as $2(x+1)=20$. Remove the parentheses and applying the distributive property, $2x+2=20$ Solve the equation $2x+2=20$ $x+1=10$ $x=9$ Hence an example of a problem where the real number properties is used is, Find the number $x$ whose double value of the successor of the number is $20$. That number is $9$.
