What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

Apply the Distributive Property: 3(4 + 5)

Back

3(4 + 5) = 3*4 + 3*5 = 12 + 15 = 27.

What is the result of 2(x + 3)?

Back

2(x + 3) = 2x + 6.

Front

Use the Distributive Property: 5(2x + 6)

Back

5(2x + 6) = 10x + 30.

Front

Simplify: -4(k - 7)

Back

-4(k - 7) = -4k + 28.

Front

What is the equivalent expression for 4(2x + 3)?

Back

4(2x + 3) = 8x + 12.

Front

Distribute: (x - 6)4

Back

(x - 6)4 = 4x - 24.

Front

Simplify: -4(-p - 6)

Back

-4(-p - 6) = 4p + 24.
