1. Distributive Property (with integers)

2. Distributive Property To multiply a number by a sum/difference of two terms, you can multiply that number by each term and add/subtract the two products. a(b + c) = ab + ac d(e – f) = de - df

3. Distributive Property – Example #1 Simplify. 8(2g - 5) 16g- 40

4. Distributive Property – Example #2 Simplify. -6(-y + 4) 6y - 24

5. Distributive Property – Example #3 Simplify. -(-4 - 2b) 4+ 2b Multiply by -1 Distributing a negative is the same as taking the opposite of each term inside the ( ).

6. Distributive Property – Practice #1 -(a + 3) -a - 3

7. Distributive Property – Practice #2 -(-4 – 2b) 4 + 2b

8. Distributive Property – Practice #3 6(-y – 4) -6y - 24

9. Distributive Property – Practice #4 -7(x + 2) -7x - 14

10. Distributive Property – Practice #5 -5(4 – y) -20 + 5y

11. Distributive Property – Practice #6 -6(-a – 2) 6a + 12

12. Distributive Property – Practice #7 3(-3k + 5) -9k + 15

13. Distributive Property – Practice #8 4 (d – 8) 4d - 32

14. Distributive Property – Practice #9 2(-4 + 6) -8 + 12

15. Distributive Property – Practice #10 -5(-w – 8) 5w + 40
