Simplify the subtraction of two binomials - Do my homework

The video tutorial explains the distributive property and its application in simplifying expressions. It begins with an introduction to the distributive property, followed by an example demonstrating its use. The tutorial then covers the concept of combining like terms and proceeds to simplify expressions using the distributive property. The final section consolidates the learning by showing the complete simplification process, emphasizing the importance of understanding variable terms and arithmetic operations.

What is the result of applying the distributive property to the expression 5 * (1 + 4)?

• 5 * 5

• 5 + 1 * 4

• 5 * 1 + 5 * 4

• 5 + 4

Why can't the terms 2X and -4 be combined in the expression 2X - 4?

• They are not like terms.

• They are both negative.

• They are both positive.

• They are both constants.

How do you rewrite the expression -1 * (10 - 3X) using the distributive property?

• 10 - 3X

• -10 + 3X

• 10 + 3X

• -10 - 3X

What is the simplified form of the expression 14X + 3X - 28 - 10?

• 14X - 38

• 14X + 38

• 17X + 38

• 17X - 38

When combining like terms, what must be true about the variables?

• They must have the same coefficient.

• They must be different variables.

• They must be constants.

• They must be in the same degree.
