Front

What is the result of 6(2 + 5)?

Back

6(2 + 5) = 6*2 + 6*5 = 12 + 30 = 42

Front

If a = 3, what is the value of 2(a + 4)?

Back

2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4 = 6 + 8 = 14

Apply the Distributive Property: 5(2x + 1)

Back

10x + 5

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression using the Distributive Property?

Back

It means to expand the expression by multiplying the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.
