This video tutorial teaches how to simplify algebraic expressions by applying properties of operations such as the distributive, commutative, and associative properties. It uses examples involving sets of cookies and boxes to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial also covers solving problems with multiple sets and demonstrates different methods to achieve the same result, emphasizing the importance of correctly applying these properties.

What is the expression for one set of 3 boxes and 5 cookies?

• 2b + 4

• 5b + 3

• 3b + 5

• 4b + 2

How should you correctly apply the distributive property to 8 times the quantity 5 plus 2?

• 8 times 5 plus 8 times 2

• 8 times 2 plus 5

• 8 times 5 plus 2

• 8 plus 5 times 2

What does the commutative property allow you to do with terms in an expression?

• Subtract them

• Move them around

• Multiply them directly

• Add them vertically

Using the associative property, what is the sum of 3b plus 3b plus 3b?

• 3b

• 6b

• 9b

• 12b

How can you express four sets of 2 boxes and 4 cookies using the distributive property?

• 4 times 2b plus 4

• 2 times 2b plus 4

• 2 times 4b plus 4

• 4 times 4b plus 2

What is the result of combining 2b plus 2b plus 2b plus 2b using the associative property?

• 6b

• 8b

• 10b

• 4b

What is the final simplified expression for four sets of 2 boxes and 4 cookies?

• 8b + 16

• 6b + 12

• 10b + 20

• 4b + 8
