Distributive Property & Combine Like Terms

Let's try it. Which answer shows an equivalent expression created with the Distributive Property?

• 40 + 56x

• 40 + 7x

• (40 + 56x)

Let's try it. Which answer choice shows the correct way to combine like terms here?

Solve for the variable x in the following equation:

3(x-6)+2x=22

• x=8

• x=2

• x=18

• x=3

Solve for the variable h in the following equation:

10( h + 1) - 4 = 76

• h = 10

• h = 4

• h = 7

• h = 76

Solve: 2(4x-3) - 8 = 4 + 2x

• x = 5/3

• x = 3

• x = 1

• x = 2

Solve for x:

2 ( x + 5 ) - 7 = 3 ( x - 2 )

• x = 6

• x = -14

• x = 9

• x = 28

What is the first step to solve this equation? 2x + 3(5x - 7) = 47

• Add 7 to both sides

• Combine 2x and 5x

• Distribute the 3 to 5x and - 7

• Subtract 2x from 5x

What would the FIRST step be to solve this equation?

• Distribute -3 just to x

• Distribute -3 to x AND 4

• Distribute 3 to x AND 4

• Combine -3 and 4

What would the FIRST step be to solve this equation?

• Add 12

• Combine like terms 8x+4x

• Get variables on same side

• Divide by 8

What should you do after you distribute?

• Distribution (if necessary)

• Combine Like terms

• Move Variable
