Students will be able to use the Distributive Property to simplify expressions.
____________________ have the same variable factors. To identify like terms, compare the variable factors of the terms.
Like terms
You can simplify an algebraic expression by combining the parts of the expression that are alike. An algebraic expression in simplest form has no like terms or parentheses.
You can use the Distributive Property to help combine like terms. Think of the Distributive Property as ba + ca = (b + c)a.
Not simplified: 2(3x – 5 + 4x) Simplified: 14x - 10
