Two Step with Distributive

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

Solve: 5(x + 10) = 10

Back

x = -8

Front

Solve: 3(x - 4) = -3

Back

x = 3

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: 4(x + 2) = 16

Back

x = 2

Front

What is the inverse operation of subtraction?

Back

Addition

Front

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

Back

21

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation, usually by performing inverse operations.

Front

Solve: 2(x + 3) = 14

Back

x = 4

Front

What is the first step in solving an equation using the Distributive Property?

Back

The first step is to apply the Distributive Property to eliminate parentheses.

Front

Solve: 6(x - 1) + 2 = 20

Back

x = 4
