Distributive Property Practice
Watch this video again if you need a reminder! Use the distributive property to simplify each expression. 3(x + 4) 12x + 4 3x + 4 3x + 12 5(x + 7) x + 7 + 5 5x + 35 5x + 7 -4(x + 2) 4x + 2 -4x - 8 x + 8 -2(x - 7) -2x + 14 2x + 7 2x + 9 Use the distributive property to match the equivalent expressions. -3(2x + 4) -6x - 12 8(5x + 4) 40x + 32 3(7x + 4) 21x + 12 -2(4x - 5) -8x + 10 Fill in the blanks. 6(2x + 1) = 12x + 6 7(9x - 3) = 63x - 21
