Distributive Property in Resource Planning

A junior business analyst is asked to simplify the resource-planning formula 6(56y+12){}6\left(\frac{5}{6}y + \frac{1}{2}\right) to integrate it into a new scheduling system, where yy represents weekly maintenance hours. To do this, the analyst must apply a basic algebraic property to eliminate the parentheses. State the name of this algebraic property, and write out the two unsimplified multiplication terms that are formed when this outer factor is distributed to each term inside the parentheses.
