Distributive Property and Simplifying Equations

Solve: 3(x-4) = -3

• 3
• -3
• 5
• -5

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation.
4( x + 2) = 16

• -2
• 0
• 1
• 2

6 ( 2n + 5 ) = 66

• 3
• 5.08
• 8
• 432

9(2x+8) = 270

• x = -7
• x = -5
• x = 11
• x = 12

-3(2c - 5)

• -6c - 15
• -6c + 15
• 6c + 15
• 6c - 15

 4(x - 5) = 44

• x = 6
• x = 16
• x = -6
• x = -16

6(2x + 2)

• 24x
• 12x + 12
• 12x + 2

3(x - 20) = 15

• x = 15
• 3x = 75
• x = 25
• x = 72

Apply the Distributive Property as the first step.
20(x + 1) = 200

• x = 9
• x = 180
• x = -9 
• x = -180

Simplify the expression:
8(5 + w)

• 40 + w
• 40+8w
• 85 + 8w
• 13+8w
