Wal-mart Distribution Center: Houston Texas
Boyertown

5. D.P. with Addition 3(x + 2) = ? Use the Distributive Property:
Now multiple:
3x + 6
This your answer

6. Practice
1. 2(x + 5)=
2. 2(5 + x)=
3. x(2 +5)=

7. Answers
1. 2(x + 5)= 2x + 10
2. 2(5 + x)= x
3. x(2 +5)= 2x + 10

8. D.P. with Subtraction Example: Apply the Distributive Property
Multiply, and keep the subtraction sign
3(1) – 3(y)
Your answer
3 – 3y

9. Practice
1. 2(x –5) =
2. 3(5 –x) =
3. (x –5)3 =

10. Answers
1. 2(x –5) = 2x -10
2. 3(5 –x) = 15 -3x
3. (x –5)3 = 3x -15
