What is a common mistake when applying the distributive property to 3(n + 2)?

• Adding 3 to n and 2

• Subtracting 3 from n and 2

• Multiplying 3 by n and 2

• Multiplying 3 by n and adding 2

What is the correct expanded form of 3(n + 2)?

• 3n + 6

• 3 + n + 2

• 3n + 2

• n + 6

In the equation 4(n + 10) = 60, what is the first step to solve for n?

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 4

• Distribute 4 to both n and 10

• Add 10 to both sides

After distributing in the equation 4(n + 10) = 60, what is the next step?

• Add 40 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 4

• Multiply both sides by 4

• Subtract 40 from both sides

In the equation 5(n - 3) = 20, what is the value of n after solving?

• 6

• 5

• 7

• 4

What is the first step in solving the practice problem 2(5n + 1) = 42?

• Divide both sides by 2

• Add 1 to both sides

• Subtract 1 from both sides

• Distribute 2 to both 5n and 1

In the practice problem -3(n - 3) = -24, what is the value of n after solving?
