Adding Like Terms and Distributive Property

Simplify by combining like terms: 7v - 2 + 12 + 2v

• 23

• 23v

• 9 + 14v

• 9v + 10

Simplify by combining like terms:

5a + 2b - 3a + 4

• 8a + 2b + 4

• 2a + 2b + 4

• 8ab

• 4ab + 4

Use the distributive property to rewrite the following expression: 5(2x + 6) + 4(10x - 2)

• 10x + 30 + 40x - 8

• 50x + 22

• 50x - 22

• 10x + 30 + 40x + 8

Use the distributive property and combine like terms:

4x + 2(x - 1)

• 6x - 2

• 4x + 2x - 2

• 6x - 1

• 8x + 2x - 2

Use the distributive property and combine like terms:

2(x + 8) + 6x

• 2x + 8 + 6x

• 8x + 8

• 8x +16

Simplify by combining like terms: 3 + 12c - 4c

• 16c + 3

• 8c + 3

• 5c

• 8c

Combine like terms to simplify: (5x + 2) + (4x - 5)

• 9x -3

• -9x-7

• 9x+7

• x+7

Simplify the expression.
(4a³ - 8a - 4a²) + (7a³ - 7 - 6a)

• 11a³ - 4a² - 14a - 7 

• 5a³ - 4a² - 14a - 7 

• 5a³ - 4a² - 20a - 7 

• 5a³ - 9a² - 20a - 7

Find the sum.
(2x² + 5x - 7) + ( 3 - 4x² + 6x)

• 2x² + 3x +1

• -2x² - 11x -4

• 2x² + 5x -7

• -2x² + 11x -4

One difference between adding and subtracting polynomials is...

• Using the associative property

• Using the distributive property

• Using the commutative property

• Nothing. The process is the same
