6TH GRADE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY AND COMBINING LIKE TERMS

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum or difference.

Front

What is an example of using the Distributive Property?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to combine like terms?

Back

Combining like terms means to simplify an expression by adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

What is an example of combining like terms?

Back

For example, in the expression 2x + 3x, you can combine them to get 5x.

Front

What is the first step in using the Distributive Property?

Back

The first step is to multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

Front

What is the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)?

Back

The GCF is the largest number that divides two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.

Front

How do you find the GCF of 48 and 24?

Back

The GCF of 48 and 24 is 24, as it is the largest number that divides both evenly.

Front

What is an equivalent expression for 4(6x + 11)?

Back

The equivalent expression is 24x + 44.

Front

What is the result of 8(3 - 8) using the Distributive Property?

Back

The result is 24 - 64.

Front

How do you apply the Distributive Property to 4(6x + x)?

Back

You distribute 4 to both terms: 4*6x + 4*x = 24x + 4x = 28x.
