Distributive Property View the video lesson on Distributive Property. Matching! Use the Distributive Property to match the equivalent expressions. 3(x + 2) 3x + 6 3(x + 3) 3x+9 4(3x + 1) 12x + 4 3(4x + 1) 12x + 3 -2(x + 8) -2x + -16 -5(x - 2) -5x + 10 5(x + 2) 5x + 10 -1(x - 3) -1x + 3 Use the Distributive Property to simplify 3(x + 1) 3x + 1 3x + 3 x + 3 3x + 4 Use the Distributive Property to simplify -2(x + 4) -2x + -8 OR -2x - 8 2x + 8 2x + -8 OR 2x - 8 Use the Distributive Property to simplify -4(x - 8) -4x - 8 4x - 32 -4x + -8 -4x + 32 Use the Distributive Property to fill in the blanks to simplify the given expression. 2(4x + 2) = 8x + 4 Use the Distributive Property to fill in the blanks to simplify the given expression. -5(x - 2) = -5x + 10 Use the Distributive Property to fill in the blanks to simplify the given expression. -3(2x + 1) = -6x + -3 Which of the following shows correct use of the Distributive Property? -3(x + 5) = 3x + 5 -3(x + 5) = -3x + 5 -3(x + 5) = -3x +15 -3(x + 5) = -3x - 15 Which of the following shows correct use of the Distributive Property? -(2x - 7) = -1(2x + -7) = -2x + 7 -(2x - 7) = -1(2x + -7) = -2x + -7 -(2x - 7) = -1(2x + -7) = 2x + -7
