1.7 The Distributive Property
You can use the distributive property to simplify algebraic expressions
We can use the distributive property to re-write an expression in simplest form Use the distributive property to simplify the product of a number and a sum or difference
Simplify each expression using the distributive property
3( h-5) =
(6+9v)6 =
-1(14+x) =
20( 8-a)=
3h-15
36 +54v
-14-x
160-20a
Simplify each expression using the distributive property
½( 4h-6) =
-(6+9v) =
1.1(6+x) =
2h-3
-6-9v
6.6+1.1x
Like Terms: remember that like terms have the same variable raised to the same power
12x + 4x = 16x
4b+ 4a+4b= 8b + 4a
Simplify each expression
2(2h+1)+3(4h+7)
5(n-8)+ 6(7-2n)
4h+2 + 12h+ 21 = 16h+23
5n-40 + 42-12n= -7n+2
