Solving Linear Equations with Distribution

In this video, Mr. B continues his series on solving linear equations, focusing on distribution. He explains the concept of distribution, using examples to illustrate how to expand expressions and solve equations. The video covers both basic and advanced distribution techniques, including handling negatives. Mr. B emphasizes the importance of practice and encourages viewers to try solving similar problems on their own. He concludes by inviting questions and interaction on social media.

What is the main focus of this video?

• Graphing linear equations

• Solving quadratic equations

• Factoring polynomials

• Solving linear equations with distribution

What is the first step in the distribution method?

• Subtracting all terms inside the brackets

• Multiplying each term inside the brackets by the factor outside

• Dividing each term inside the brackets by the factor outside

• Adding all terms inside the brackets

In the example 5 * (3x + 4), what do you get after distributing?

• 15x + 4

• 3x + 4

• 5x + 20

• 15x + 20

What is the result of distributing 2 * (5x + 1)?

• 10x + 1

• 5x + 1

• 5x + 2

• 10x + 2

After distributing in the equation 2 * (5x + 1) = 5, what is the next step?

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Add 2 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

What is the value of x in the equation 10x + 2 = 5?

• 1/2

• 3/10

• 1/3

• 2/5

In the equation 2 * (3x - 2) = 5 * (2x + 1), what is the first step?

• Divide both sides by 2

• Add 2 to both sides

• Distribute on both sides

• Subtract 2 from both sides

What is the result of distributing 2 * (3x - 2)?

• 6x - 4

• 6x - 2

• 3x - 4

• 3x - 2

After distributing and simplifying, what is the next step in solving 6x - 4 = 10x + 5?

• Add 4 to both sides

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Add 10x to both sides

• Subtract 10x from both sides

What is the value of x in the equation -4x = 9?

• 9/4

• 4/9

• -4/9

• -9/4
