Apply distributive property and combining like terms to simplify the expression

The video tutorial explains the curative property and the importance of correctly distributing numbers outside parentheses. It highlights common mistakes students make, such as multiplying numbers incorrectly. The tutorial then demonstrates applying the restorative property, simplifying expressions, and combining like terms to reach the final simplified expression.

What is a common mistake students make when using the distributive property?

• Adding the number outside the parentheses to every term inside.

• Multiplying the number outside the parentheses by every term inside.

• Dividing the number outside the parentheses by every term inside.

• Ignoring the number outside the parentheses.

When applying the distributive property, what should you do with the number outside the parentheses?

• Multiply it by every term inside the parentheses.

• Add it to every term inside the parentheses.

• Subtract it from every term inside the parentheses.

• Ignore it completely.

What is the result of multiplying -3 by -2X?

• -5X

• 5X

• 6X

• -6X

After applying the distributive property, what is the next step in simplifying the expression?

• Add all the terms together.

• Subtract the smallest term from the largest.

• Combine like terms.

• Divide all terms by the same number.

What is the final simplified form of the expression 6X - 3 - 7?

• 6X + 10

• 6X + 4

• 6X - 10

• 6X - 4
