Distributing and Combining Like Terms Practice

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression:

8(2m - n)

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression:

3(4e + 2n)

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression:

3a(4 + 8 + 9)

Simplify to an equivalent expression by combining like terms.

7 + 4x + 8x + 2

11x + 12 + 4x - 7

Simplify the expression putting like terms together:

2x² + 2x + 1/3x² + 5 + 2/3x²
