Equivalent Expressions, Combining Like Terms, Distributive Property

Combine like terms: 4a + 2b - 3a - 5b

• 7a + 2b

• 4a - 5b

• -a - 3b

• a - 2b

Use the distributive property to simplify: 2(3x + 4)

• 10x + 12

• 5x + 7

• x + 2

• 6x + 8

Identify the equivalent expression for 5(x + 3)

• 5x - 3

• 5x + 8

• 5x + 5

Simplify the expression: 2(4x - 3) - 3(2x + 5)

• 10x - 8

• -2x - 13

• -8x - 7

• 6x + 1
