Two-Step Equations with Distribution
Video #1: Understanding Rewriting a Problem Using DISTRIBUTION Watch Video 1 before moving on to the next part of this activity. Matching Expressions Use the distributive property to match the expression on the left to its matching expression on the right. 6(2x + 3) 12x + 18 2(x - 4) 2x - 8 5(3x + 7) 15x + 35 3(10 + x) 30 + 3x 8(7 - 3x) 56 - 24x x(2x + 0) 2x Video #2 Think you need some extra help figuring out the distributive property? Watch this video for a different explanation. Simplifying Using Distribution Simplify the following expressions by distributing. Rewrite your simplified answer in the blanks. 6 - 30m 12 + 9r 32n + 8 -42k + -66 -2 - -10v 18r + 24 2 - -n -21n + -3 Solving Equations Using Distribution Solve the following equations for x using distribution.After you use the distributive property, solve the equation like normal. Be sure to type your answer in like the example below.Example: 2(x + 1)= 4 2x + 2 = 4 2x = 2Answer: x = 1 x = 5 x = 3 x = 8 x = 15 x = 0 x = 11 x = 16 x = 25
