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 using the Distributive Property: 4(x + 2) = 16

Back

x = 2

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?

Back

Subtraction

Front

Solve using the Distributive Property: 2(x + 10) = 60

Back

x = 20

Front

Solve for f: -3(f - 8) = 39

Back

f = -5

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable?

Back

To isolate a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.

Front

If 5x = 25, what is x?

Back

x = 5

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 3(x + 4) = 21?

Back

Use the Distributive Property to expand: 3x + 12 = 21.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 6(x - 1) = 12?

Back

x = 3

Front

What is the purpose of using the Distributive Property in equations?

Back

It simplifies expressions and makes it easier to solve for the variable.
