Distributive Property Day 1 Distributive Property allows you to distribute a factor outside a parenthesis to the addends/subtrahends inside the parenthesis.
In-Ticket 1.Solve: ( 3^2 – 8÷2)4 2. Evaluate if x=6, y=5, and z=10 7x – (5z – 4y) 3. Identify the Property (5+3) x 2 = (3+5) x 2 4.Translate the phrase Six times the difference of four and a number
Example #1 Using order of operations 5(6+1) 5 x 7 35 Using distributive property 5(6+1) 5 x x
Example # 2 Using order of operations 7(3 – 2) 7 x 1 7 Using distributive property 7(3 – 2) 7 x 3 – 7 x 2 21 – 14 7
What about 5(a+3) or 7(6+x) Can you add a and 3? Can you add 6 and x?
Must use Distributive Property to help simplify Algebraic Expressions To Simplify Algebraic Expressions Step 1: Get rid of ALL grouping symbols Step 2: Do ALL possible operations This includes combining like terms(Addition/Subtract)
Example #3 5(a+3) 5 x a + 5 x 3 5a + 15
Example #4 7(6+b) 7 x x b b
