Multistep Equations with Distributive Properties

What is the first step in solving this equation?

• add 4 to both sides

• distribute the 4

• subtract 4 to both sides

• subtract 12 to both sides

6 ( 2n + 5 ) = 66

• 3

• 5.08

• 8

• 432

What will the equation look like after you distribute?

• -6x - 8 = 10

• -6x + 8 = 10

• -5x - 6 = 10

• -5x + 6 = 10

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

• 7

• 14

• 7x

• 14x

Match the following expressions with what it would be AFTER you distribute.

• -6 (x +3)

• 6x +18

• 6(x +3)

• -6x -18

• 6(x -3)

• 6x -18

• -6(x -3)

• -6x +18
