Distributive Property

Front

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: 5(2 + 3)

Back

5(2 + 3) = 5*2 + 5*3 = 10 + 15 = 25.

Front

What is the result of applying the Distributive Property to: 3(x + 4)?

Back

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

Front

Choose an expression equal to: -(3x - 11)

Back

-3x + 11.

Front

Choose an expression equal to: 7(-9y - 9)

Back

-63y - 63.

Front

Choose an expression equal to: 4(3x - 9y + 8z)

Back

12x - 36y + 32z.

Front

Choose an expression equal to: 7(2a - 3b - c)

Back

14a - 21b - 7c.

Front

Choose an expression equal to: (6g + 4) • 6

Back

36g + 24.

Front

What does it mean to factor an expression using the Distributive Property?

Back

Factoring an expression means rewriting it as a product of its factors, often by taking out a common factor.

Front

If a = 2 and b = 3, what is the value of 4(a + b)?

Back

4(a + b) = 4(2 + 3) = 4*5 = 20.
