  1. Warm Up 8/13/09 Simplify. 1. 2. 4.4 – 32 +6.1 4. 3(8 + 3) 3. (3-2)(2-7) + 1 Evaluate Each Expression. 5. 2 + (x + 2)2 for x = 3 6.

  2. Objectives Use the Commutative, Associative, and Distributive Properties to simplify expressions. Combine like terms.

  3. Vocabulary term like terms coefficient

  4. The Commutative and Associative Properties of Addition and Multiplication allow you to rearrange an expression to simplify it.

  5. The Distributive Property is used with Addition to Simplify Expressions. The Distributive Property also works with subtraction because subtraction is the same as adding the opposite.

  6. Directions: Write the product using the Distributive Property. Then simplify.

  7. Example 1 3(x – 4) Multiply the 3 times the x and the 4 3(x) – 3(4) Simplify each term 3x - 12

  8. Example 2 -5(2x + 7) Multiply -5 times 3x and 7 -5(2x) + (-5)(7) Simplify each term. -10x - 35

  9. Example 3 6(-7x + 8) 6(-7x) + 6(8) -42x + 48

  10. Example 4 -5(3x2 + 7) -5(3x2 + (-5)(7) -15x2 -35

  11. Like Terms What are “like terms”

  12. The terms of an expression are the parts to be added or subtracted. Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. Constants are also like terms. Like terms Constant 4x –3x + 2

  13. A coefficientis a number multiplied by a variable. Like terms can have different coefficients. A variable written without a coefficient has a coefficient of 1. Coefficients 1x2 + 3x

  14. Using the Distributive Property can help you combine like terms. You can factor out the common factors to simplify the expression. 7x2 – 4x2 = (7 – 4)x2 Factor out x2 from both terms. = (3)x2 Perform operations in parenthesis. = 3x2 Notice that you can combine like terms by adding or subtracting the coefficients and keeping the variables and exponents the same.

  15. Directions: Simplify the expression by combining like terms. Write each example and solution.

  16. Example 5 72p – 25p 72p –25p 72p and 25p are like terms. 47p Subtract the coefficients.

  17. and are like terms. Write 1 as . Example 6 A variable without a coefficient has a coefficient of 1. Add the coefficients.

  18. Example 7 0.5m + 2.5n 0.5m + 2.5n 0.5m and 2.5n are not like terms. 0.5m + 2.5n Do not combine the terms.

  19. 3m2 + m3 Example 8 a. 16p + 84p 16p + 84p 16p + 84p are like terms. 100p Add the coefficients. b. –20t – 8.5t2 –20t – 8.5t2 20t and 8.5t2 are not like terms. –20t – 8.5t2 Do not combine the terms. c. 3m2 + m3 3m2 + m3 3m2 and m3are not like terms. Do not combine the terms.

  20. Simplify and Justify Distribute and Combine Like Terms Put it all together! Copy each example and solution.

  22. Example 10 Simplify 6(x –4) + 9.Justify each step. Procedure Justification 1. 6(x –4) + 9 2. Distributive Property 6(x)–6(4) + 9 3. 6x – 24 + 9 Multiply. Combine like terms. 4. 6x – 15

  23. Example 11 Simplify −12x – 5x + 3a + x.Justify each step. Procedure Justification 1. –12x – 5x + 3a + x 2. Commutative Property –12x – 5x + x + 3a 3. –16x + 3a Combine like terms.

  24. Lesson Summary Simplify each expression by combining like terms. Justify each step with an operation or property. 1. 14c2 – 9c 2. 14c2 – 9c 3. 301x – x 300x 4. 24a + b2 + 3a + 2b2 27a + 3b2

  25. Lesson Summary Simplify each expression using the distributive property. 5. 4(x + 5) 4x + 20 6. -5(3x – 7) -15x + 35 Simplify each expression by using the distributive property and combining like terms. 7. 4(x – 5) + 2x 6x - 20 8. -3(x + 2) – 4 -3x - 10
