ALG: Combining Like Terms & Distributive Property

Simplify the expression by combining like terms:

 $4x+8+5x+1$  

• 20x + 9

• 9x + 8

• 9x + 9

• 10x + 9

Simplify the expression by combining like terms:

 $-8+7x+8-5x$  

• 2x - 1

• 12x + 0

• 2x+1

• 2x

Simplify the expression by combining like terms:

 $-6x+4-8x-12$  

• -14x - 8

• 2x - 8

• 14x + 16

• -14x + 8

Simplify the expression using the Distributive Property:

 $4\left(2x+9\right)$  

• 8x + 9

• 8x + 36

• 6x + 13

• 8x + 13

Simplify the expression using the Distributive Property:

 $-3\left(7-5x\right)$  

• -21 + 8x

• -21 - 15x

• -21 + 15x

• 4 + 15x

Simplify the expression using the Distributive Property:

 $\frac{3}{4}\left(8x-12\right)$  

• 9x - 6

• 6x - 9

• 6x + 9

• 3x - 8

Simplify the expression using the Distributive Property and then combining like terms:

 $5\left(2x-8\right)+7x-1$  

• 10x - 40

• 17x - 40

• 17x - 41

• 17x - 39
