Big Ideas Algebra Chapter 3

Using the Associative Property, how would we simplify this problem?

6 + (5 + x)

• 6 + 5x

• (x + 5) + 6

• (6 +5) + x

• (6 + 5 + x)

Simplify the expression using the Distributive Property:  4( x - 6)

• x- 24
• 4x - 24
• 4x + 6
• 4x + 24

Simplify the expression.
6q + 2 + 3q+ 5

• 6q + 3q + 2 + 5
• 18q + 10
• 2(3q + q) + 7 
• 9q + 7

Simplify the expression.
4r + 3(r - 2)

• 7r - 6
• 5r + -6
• r - 6
• 12r +1

True or False:

• true

• false

Simplify the expression: 
3( 2x + 9)

• 2x + 27
• 6x + 9
• 6x + 27
• 6 + 27x

x + 2x

• 2x²
• 3x
• Can't be simplified

Which terms below are NOT like terms.

• x and 2x
• 5 and 19
• 3y³ and 6y³
• 5n and 5y

Use the commutative property of multiplication to solve the equation.
5 x 2 = 10, so ____ x 5 = 10

• 10
• 5
• 2
• 7

Which is an example of Associative Property of Addition?

• (12+3)+8=12x(3x8)
• 12x(3x8)=(12x3)x8
• (12+8)+3=12+(8+3)
• 12 + 18 = 18 + 12
