• Subtract all numbers

• Add all numbers

• Look for parentheses

• Combine like terms

What do you do if you cannot simplify within the parentheses?

• Multiply the integer outside the parentheses by everything inside

• Subtract the numbers inside the parentheses

• Ignore the parentheses

• Add the numbers inside the parentheses

In the expression 3(x + 9) - 7, what is the result after distributing the 3?

• 3x + 9 - 7

• 3x + 27 - 7

• 3x + 27 + 7

• 3x + 9 + 7

After distributing and combining like terms in 3(x + 9) - 7, what is the simplified expression?

• 3x + 34

• 3x + 20

• 8w + 3w + 28

• 8w + 3w + 56

• 8w + 3w + 14

• 8w + 3w + 42

What is the simplified form of 8w + 3(w + 14)?

• 11w + 42

• 11w + 56

• 8w + 42

In the expression 6(3x + 13) + 9x, what is the result after distributing the 6?

• 18x + 78 + 9x

• 18x + 78 + 6x

• 18x + 13 + 6x

• 18x + 13 + 9x

What is the simplified form of 6(3x + 13) + 9x?

• 18x + 91
