Lesson 2.6 The Distributive Property With Mr.Warner
Distributive Property What does this mean?! To distribute means to give something to each member of a group. Algebra example: a(b+c)= ab + ac
Real Life Distribution Pottstown Wal-mart Distribution Center: Houston Texas Boyertown
D.P. with Addition 3(x + 2) = ? Use the Distributive Property: Now multiple: 3x + 6 This your answer
Practice 1. 2(x + 5)= 2. 2(5 + x)= 3. x(2 +5)=
Answers 1. 2(x + 5)= 2x + 10 2. 2(5 + x)= 10 + 2x 3. x(2 +5)= 2x + 10
D.P. with Subtraction Example: Apply the Distributive Property Multiply, and keep the subtraction sign 3(1) – 3(y) Your answer 3 – 3y
Practice 1. 2(x –5) = 2. 3(5 –x) = 3. (x –5)3 =
Answers 1. 2(x –5) = 2x -10 2. 3(5 –x) = 15 -3x 3. (x –5)3 = 3x -15
