12. Distributive Property (Warm-up) Evaluate: 1. 3(4) + 3(5)= 2. 6(2) + 6(8)= 3. 7(x) +7(1)= Which pairs are equivalent? a. 2(8) + 2(7) and 2(8+7) b. 5(6) + 2 and 5(6+2) c. 8(3) + 8(4) and 8(3) + 4

13. Distributive property Two algebraic expressions are equivalent if they have the same values when numbers are substituted for the variables: (example) 2(x +2) = 2x + 4

14. Distributive property Let a, b, c be numbers or variable expressions. a(b +c) = ab +ac and ab +ac = a(b+c)

15. Distributive properties Write in your notebook: Write in your notebook: Using the distributive property is sometimes easier than dealing with parenthesis: Write an equivalent expression for 4(3x + 1) Write an equivalent expression for 4(3x + 1) Evaluate both expressions when x=5 Evaluate both expressions when x=5 Which expression do you think is easier to evaluate? Why? Which expression do you think is easier to evaluate? Why?
