  1. Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols Topic 2.1.2

  2. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols California Standard: 4.0 Students simplify expressionsbefore solving linear equations and inequalities in one variable, such as 3(2x – 5) + 4(x – 2) = 12 What it means for you: You’ll use the distributive property to simplify expressions. • Key words: • distributive property • commutative property

  3. For example: 3(b+c) = 3b + 3c Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols You already saw the distributive property in Topic 1.2.7. In this Topic you’ll simplify expressions by using the distributive property to get rid of grouping symbols.

  4. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols The Distributive Property Removes Grouping Symbols The expression 5(3x + 2) + 2(2x – 1) can be simplified— both parts have an “x” term and a constant term. To simplify an expression like this, you first need to get rid of the grouping symbols. The way to do this is to use the distributive propertyof multiplication over addition: a(b + c) = ab+ ac.

  5. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols Example 1 Simplify 5(3x + 2) + 2(2x – 1). Solution 5(3x + 2) + 2(2x – 1) Given expression Distributive property = 15x+ 10 + 4x – 2 = 15x + 4x + 10 – 2 Commutative property of addition = 19x + 8 Solution follows…

  6. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols Guided Practice In Exercises 1–7, simplify the following expressions: 1. 2(4x + 5) + 8 8x + 18 2. 12(5a – 8) + 4x + 3 60a + 4x – 93 3. 6(2j + 3c) + 8(5c + 4z) 12j + 58c + 32z 4. 10(x + 2) + 7(3 – 4x) –18x + 41 5. 6(a – b) + 4(2b – 3) 6a + 2b – 12 6. 5(3x + 4) + 3(4x + 10) + 2(8x + 9) 43x + 68 7. 8(2n – 3) + 9(4n – 5) + 4(3n + 7) 64n – 41 Solution follows…

  7. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols Take Care when Multiplying by a Negative Number If a number outside a grouping symbol is negative, like in –7(2x + 1), you have to remember to use the multiplicative property of –1. This means that the signs of the terms withinthe grouping symbols will change: “+” signs will change to “–” signs and vice versa.

  8. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols Example 2 Simplify the following: a) –7(2x + 1) b) –6(–x – 3) c) –3(5x – 4) Solutions a) The +2x and +1 become negative. –7(2x + 1) = –14x – 7 b) The two negative terms inside the grouping symbols are multiplied by the negative term outside. They both become positive. –6(–x – 3) = 6x + 18 c) –3(5x – 4) = –15x + 12 Solution follows…

  9. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols Example 3 Simplify the expression 4(2x – 1) – 5(x – 2). Show your steps. Solution 4(2x – 1) – 5(x – 2) Given expression = 8x – 4 – 5x + 10 Distributive property = 8x – 5x – 4 + 10 Commutative property of addition = 3x + 6 Solution follows…

  16. Topic 2.1.2 Getting Rid of Grouping Symbols Round Up The distributive property is really useful — it’s always good to get rid of confusing grouping symbols whenever you can. The main thing you need to watch out for is if you’re multiplying the contents of parentheses by a negative number — it will change the sign of everything in the parentheses.
