• R1: I can create equivalent expressions using the properties of operations (such as the distributive property, associative property, adding like terms with the addition property of equality, etc.).

Learning Target​

​Standard MGSE6.EE.3

 Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. *For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3(2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6(4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.

​Distributive Property

Remember...

When using distributive property remember you need to multiply the numbers/variables inside the parenthesis by the outside number.

Solve and bring down your operation sign.

Combine like terms if necessary. ​

​

​Ex: 3(2x+6)

Multiple Choice

Which expression is equivalent to 11 x + 2 ?

• 11x+2

• x+22

• 11x+22

• (11+x)+(11+22)

Multiple Choice

Which algebraic expression demonstrates the correct application of the distributive property?

• 10 x y + 8 x 2

• 12 x 5-y

• 14 x 7 + 14 +7

• 22 x 3- 22 x 5

Multiple Choice

• 105h

• 675h

• 15(3+4h)

• 15(30+45h)

Multiple Choice

• Neither student is correct. The expression x + x + x cannot be simplified.

• Both students are correct because 3x and x 3 are equivalent.

• Student A is correct because x + x + x is the same as 3x.

• Student B is correct because x + x + x is equivalent to x 3.
