Distributive Property

Factor out the expression.

10x + 25

• 5(2x + 5)

• 5(5x + 20)

• 2(5x + 12)

• 3(3x + 8)

Simplify 5(x- 3)

• 5x - 15

• 5x - 3

• 2x

REWRITE: -2(x + 6)

• -2x - 6

• 2x - 12

• -2x - 12

Rewrite the subtraction part:

6(x - 4) - (x + 8)

• x + 8

• -x + 8

• -x - 8

Use the Distributive Property to simplify the expression.
6(7g + 4 − g)

• 60g

• 41g + 4

• 36g + 24

• 12g +4

7(x + 4)

Answer explanation

To simplify the expression, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2(3x) + 2(4) + x = 6x + 8 + x = 7x + 8. Therefore, the correct choice is 7x + 8.

Simplify   2(3x + 5)
