To apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y, we need to distribute the numerical coefficient to both terms. The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Applying this to the given expression, we have:

24x + 18y = (24)(x) + (18)(y)

This simplifies to:

24x + 18y = 24x + 18y

So, the expression remains the same after applying the distributive property.
