Simplifying Expressions and Combining Like Terms and Distributive Property

These have the the same variable and can, therefore, be combined...

• Expressions

• Distributive Property

• Additive Inverse

• Like Terms

Which expression is equivalent to:
4x + 30y

• 2(x + 15y)

• 4(x + 15y)

• 2(2x + 15y)

• can't be factored

Which expression is equivalent to 3x + ½(-12x - 16)

• -21x + (-32)

• 9x + 8

• -3x - 8

• -6x - 8

Simplify:
11m - 8 - 12 + 10m

• m - 20

• m - 4

• 21m - 4

• 21m - 20

Expressions are made up of these...

• Variables

• Operations

• Terms

• Distributive Property

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.

2(7c - 8)

• 14c - 16

• 14c + 16

• 7c - 16

• c - 16

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.

3(2c - 5)

• 6c - 15

• 6c + 15

• 6c + 15

• -6c - 15

Simplify the expression

29x+8(4y-2x)

• 13x+32y

• 27x+12y

• 31x+32y

• 13x-32y
