What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

Solve the equation using the Distributive Property: 4(x + 2) = 16.

Back

x = 2

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation -9(x - 4) = 81?

Back

Distribute -9 to both x and -4.

Front

Solve the equation: -9(x - 4) = 81.

Back

x = -5

Front

What does it mean when an equation has no solution?

Back

It means that there is no value for the variable that will satisfy the equation.

Front

Solve the equation: 4(x + 9) = 20.

Back

x = -4

Front

What is the goal when solving multi-step equations?

Back

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Front

Solve the equation: 2.5 - 0.4y = 6.1.

Back

y = -9

Front

What is a multi-step equation?

Back

A multi-step equation is an equation that requires more than one step to isolate the variable.

Front

Solve the equation: 2x - 3 + 4x = 27.

Back

x = 5
