Solve Using Combining Like Terms and Distributive Property with Integers

Solve for x.

• x = 16

• x = 10

• x = 18

• x = 30

Simplify by combining like terms:

5a + 2b - 3a + 4

• 8a + 2b + 4

• 2a + 2b + 4

• 8ab

• 4ab + 4

What terms can you combine in this equation?

• 5 and 15

• -4x and 2x

• -4x and 5

• 2x and 5

When using the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY I....

• ...multiply the number on the outside of the parenthesis will all terms inside the parenthesis.

• ...take the square root.

• ...add all terms that have the same variable.

• ...find the slope

-4m + 14 + 10m - 20

• -14m - 6

• 6m - 6

• - 6m + 6

• 6m - 34

-b + 1 - 6b

• 5b + 1

• -7b + 1

• -5b + 1

• 5b + 1

Simplify.

3c + 4f - 5c + 8

Do not use any spaces.

Simplify.

4 - 8y + 9y - 7

Do not use any spaces.

-3a + 8 = 14

• a= -2

• a= -7.5

• a= 2

• a= 6

Combining Like Terms means to...

• Add or subtract terms that have different exponents

• divide on both sides

• Add or subtract terms with the same variable and the same exponent.

• Multiply all the variables
