Algebra-Distributive Property (Day 1)

Choose ALL of the problems where the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY can be used. This means there is more than one correct answer 😉

• 3( x + 4 )

• 4( 5x⋅2m )

• 8(3x)(4x)

• -4( 5 - x )

• 8( x - 3)

What ERROR was made?

-2( 3x - 5 )

Step1: (-2)3x - (-2)(5)

Step2: -6x - 10

• 😥 No ERROR was made 😥

• Step1: Should have written (-2)3x-(2)(5)

• Step1: Should have written (-2)3x-(-2)(-5)

• Step2: - (-2)(5) = 10
