Factoring Expressions and the Distributive Property

What is the first step in applying the distributive property?

• Adding the terms inside the parentheses

• Multiplying the term outside the parentheses with each term inside

• Dividing the terms inside the parentheses

• Subtracting the terms inside the parentheses

When using the distributive property, what do you do if the terms inside the parentheses are both positive?

• Divide them by the term outside the parentheses

• Subtract them

• Multiply them by the term outside the parentheses

• Add them together

What is the simplified form of 2(7x + 2)?

• 14x + 2

How do you factor the expression 14x + 4?

• Add 2 to both terms

• Divide both terms by 4

• Multiply both terms by 2

• Factor out the GCF, which is 2
