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

Apply the Distributive Property: 4(2 + 3)

Back

4(2 + 3) = 4*2 + 4*3 = 8 + 12 = 20

Front

Apply the Distributive Property: 5(3x + 2)

Back

5(3x + 2) = 5*3x + 5*2 = 15x + 10

Front

What is the result of 6(2y + 4)?

Back

6(2y + 4) = 12y + 24

Front

If a = 3, what is the value of 2(a + 5)?

Back

2(3 + 5) = 2*8 = 16

Front

Use the Distributive Property: 7(1 + 4z)

Back

7(1 + 4z) = 7*1 + 7*4z = 7 + 28z

Front

What does it mean to factor an expression?

Back

Factoring an expression means to express it as a product of its factors, often using the Distributive Property.

Front

Factor the expression: 8x + 12

Back

8x + 12 = 4(2x + 3) using the Distributive Property.

What is the result of 9(3w + 1)?

Back

9(3w + 1) = 27w + 9

Front

What is the result of 2(1 + 10v)?

Back

2(1 + 10v) = 2 + 20v
