Order of Combining Like Terms and Distributive Property with Integers

Let's kick it up a notch!

Start by identifying all the like terms, then combine.

Pay attention to the signs before each term!

6f + 3 - 4f + 5 + 10f

• 20f

• 12f + 8

• 24f + 8

• 28 + f

This time, you need to distribute THEN combine like terms!

3(y + 5) - 2y

• 5y + 5

• 6y

• 5y + 15

• y + 15

5x + 3y + 5 + 4x + 3y + y + 8

• 9x + 7y + 13

• 6x + 2y + 2

• 25x + 2y + 3

• x + 7y + 12

Simplify 5(2 - 7n)

• 52 - 57n

• 10 - 7n

• 10 - 35n

• 10 + 35n

-4m + 14 + 10m - 20

• -14m - 6

• 6m - 6

• - 6m + 6

• 6m - 34

Find the difference by first distributing then combining

• 15.6t - 1

• -9.6t - 1

• 15.6t + 15

• -9.6t + 15

Which is equivalent to 5(a + 6)?

• 5a + 6

• a + 30

• 5a + 30

• 5a - 30

Simplify the expression:
3(2h + 3c + 2)

• 6h + 9c + 2

• 6h + 9c + 6

• 2h + 3c + 6

• 5h + 6c + 5

6 (x + y + 7)

• 6x + 6y + 42

• 12xy + 42

• 6x + 6y + 7

• 6x6y + 42

3(3x +1)

• 9x +3

• 3x + 3

• 12x

• 9x + 1
