Solve Equations using Distributive Property

What is the initial step to solve an equation containing parentheses, using the distributive property?

• Add the numbers inside the parentheses.

• Divide both sides of the equation by the number outside the parentheses.

• Multiply the number outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

• Subtract the number outside the parentheses from each term inside.

When solving the equation 5(d-7) = 20, what is the equation after applying the distributive property?

• 5d - 7 = 20

• 5d + 35 = 20

• 5d - 35 = 20

• d - 35 = 20

To solve 5d = 55 for d, what operation should be performed on both sides of the equation?

• Add 5

• Subtract 5

• Multiply by 5

• Divide by 5

What is the result of applying the distributive property to the equation 3(2x+4) = 48?

• 6x + 4 = 48

• 6x + 12 = 48

• 2x + 12 = 48

• 3(2x) + 4 = 48

What is the first step to solve the equation 3(2x+4)=48 using the distributive property?

• Divide both sides by 3.

• Subtract 4 from both sides.

• Distribute 3 to 2x and 4.

• Add 4 to both sides.

What is the value of x in the equation 3(2x+4)=48?

• 4

• 6

• 8

• 10

After distributing in the equation 16=-2(7n+13), what is the resulting equation?

• 16 = -14n + 26

• 16 = -14n - 26

• 16 = 14n + 26

• 16 = 14n - 26

What is the value of n in the equation 16=-2(7n+13)?

• 3

• -3

• 2

• -2
