1.03 Simplifying expressions (distributive property)

Use the distributive property to find an equivalent expression: 5(2f + 4)

• 10f + 4
• 10f + 9
• 10f + 20
• 30f

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.

9(2g + 3)

• 18g + 27

• 18g - 27

• -18g - 27

• 18g - 18

SIMPLIFY:

-3a – 5a + 4

• 2a + 4

• -15a - 4

• -8a + 4

• -2a + 4

SIMPLIFY:

9(2x + 2y)

• 36xy

• 18x + 18y

• 18x + 18

• 11x + 11y

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.

3(2c - 5)

• 6c - 15

• 6c + 15

• 6c + 15

• -6c - 15

SIMPLIFY

5n + 11n

• 16n

• 55n

• 6n

Simplify the Expression: -4(x + 6) + 2(x - 2)

• 2x + 28
• 6x - 20
• -2x - 28
• 6x - 28

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