Equivalent Expression and Distributive Property

Use the Distributive Property to write each expression as an equivalent expression. Then simplify it. \frac{1}{4}(x+12)

• 1/4(x) + 1/4(12);  1/4x+3

• 1/4(12x);  3x

• 1/4(x) - 1/4(12);  1/4x-3

Use the Distributive Property to write each expression as an equivalent expression. Then simplify it.

• 7(-10)+z(-10); -10z-70

• 7(-10)-z(-10); 10z+70

• 7(-10)+10(z); -17-10z

Use the Distributive Property to write each expression as an equivalent expression. Then simplify it.

–9(7 + 4)

• -9(7)+9(4); -27

• -9(7)-9(4); -99

• 9(7)-7(4); 35

Simplify each expression. Don’t forget to be careful with your signs!!!
