Learn how to rewrite expressions using the distributive property to simplify and solve mathematical problems. Practice examples provided. Need help? Just ask!
E N D
3 (5) = 5 + 5 + 5
=( 4 + 6) + ( 4 + 6) = 4+6+4+6 = 4+4+6+6 = 2(4) + 2(6)
2 ( 4 + 6) = 2(4) + 2(6)
=( m + n) + ( m + n) + ( m + n) + ( m + n) =m+m+m+m+n+n+n+n = 4m + 4n
4 ( m + n) = 4m + 4n
Let’s Try It! Write an equivalent expression using the distributive property.
Let’s reverse it… 7∙3 + 7∙8 = 7(3+8)
10c + 10d = 10(c+d)
Try It! 8(6) + 8(7)
Practice p.146 (#17-23) Use a sheet of notebook paper, and ASK if you need help!
