Equations With Distributive Property on Both Sides

3(2x+5)=39

• x = 4

• x = 5

• x = 3

• x = -2

2(6k-1)= -38

• k= 1

• k= 9

• k= -4

• k= -3

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation.
4( x + 2) = 16

• -2

• 0

• 1

• 2

Which is the correct step for the next row? 2(a + 3) = 10 2a + 6 = 10 ?

• subtract 6 from both sides

• add 6 to both sides

• divide by 2 on both sides

• multiply by 2 on both sides

Fill in the blank:
2(x + 7) = 2x + __

• 7

• 14

• 7x

• 14x

Which is the correct step for the next row?

• subtract 12 from both sides

• add 12 to both sides

• divide by -3 on both sides

• multiply by -3 on both sides

Which is the correct step for the next row? 4(c + 7) = 20 4c + 28 = 20 ?

• divide by 4 on both sides

• multiply both sides by 4

• subtract 28 from both sides

• add 28 to both sides

Which is correct for the next row?

2(a + 4) = 12

• 2a + 8 = 12

• 2a + 4 = 12

• 2a + 6 = 12

• Add 2 to both sides

• Use distributive property to get rid of the parentheses

• Isolate the variable on one side

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Use distributive property to get rid of parentheses

• Combine like terms

• Move the variable to one side of the equation

• Use inverse operations to isolate and solve for the variable.
