Distributive Property:
       To multiply a sum by a number, multiply each addend of the sum by the number outside the parentheses
Commutative Properties:
    The order in which two numbers are added or multiplied does not change their sum or product.
Associative Properties: 
    The way in which three numbers are grouped when they are added or multiplied does not change their sum or product.
Identity Properties:
    The sum of an addend and 0 is the addend. The product of a factor and 1 is the factor.
