Apply the Distributive Property: 3(4 + 5)

Back

3(4 + 5) = 3*4 + 3*5 = 12 + 15 = 27.

Front

Simplify using the Distributive Property: 2(x + 3)

Back

2(x + 3) = 2x + 6.

Front

What is the result of applying the Distributive Property to: 5(2y - 4)?

Back

5(2y - 4) = 10y - 20.

Front

Use the Distributive Property to simplify: 4(3a + 2b)

Back

4(3a + 2b) = 12a + 8b.

Front

What does it mean to combine like terms?

Back

Combining like terms means to add or subtract terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.
