Distributing Example Problem

The video tutorial guides students through solving an algebraic equation. It begins with an introduction and problem setup, encouraging students to attempt solving it independently. The teacher then demonstrates the simplification process using PEMDAS, applies the distributive property, and combines like terms. Finally, the equation is solved, and the solution is verified by plugging it back into the original equation.

What is the first step the teacher suggests when approaching the equation?

• Ignore the equation

• Check the answer in the textbook

• Guess the solution

• Simplify each side of the equation

Which operation should be performed first according to the order of operations?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Operations inside parentheses

What is the result of distributing 2 in the expression 2(5C + 2)?

• 10C + 4

• 10C + 2

• 5C + 4

• 5C + 2

After combining like terms, what is the simplified form of 10C - 2C?

• 2C

• 10C

• 8C

• 12C

What is the final solution for C in the equation after solving?

• C = 4

• C = 2

• C = 6

• C = 8
