Describe the process of the Distributive Property. (what must be done to solve a Distributive Property problem?)
You must take the number outside the parentheses and Multiply it to EACH TERM INSIDE the parentheses.
Factor the expression:
3x + 3
3(x + 1)
Combine like terms:
5x + 3x + 4
8x + 4
2y - 3
when y = 4
5
Simplify the expression:
3(2y + 3)
6y + 9
OR
9 + 6y
Factor the expression:
4x - 22
2(2x - 11)
Combine like terms:
30 + 16g^2 + 14
16g^2 + 44
50 - m^2 * 3
when m = 4
2
Simplify the expression:
3(2 + 4f)
6 + 12f
OR
12f + 6
Factor the expression:
12y - 24
6(2y - 4)
Combine like terms:
37b + 15a - 37b
15a
(3y - 9) / 3
when y = 7
18
Simplify the expression:
6(2y + 4) - 20
12y + 4
Factor the expression:
6y + 54
6(y + 9)
Combine like terms:
39v + 35v + 30v + 15v - 30v
89v
12y - 5 * 2 + 8
when y = 3

Simplify the expression:
4(x + 3) - 2(x - 5)
2x + 2
Are the following expressions equivalent?
25x - 20
4.8x - 20 + 20.2x
Yes. The expressions are equivalent because the second expression simplifies to 25x - 20 if you combine like terms
Combine like terms:
37t + 40 + 15 + 6 - 36
37t + 25
