3.  Distribute-to handout or share  Has an associated group inside ( ) with a number on the outside that needs to be “handed out” to the inside using mult.  Example:  Ex. 2(x+1)Ex. (y+4)5Ex. -2(m+1)  Ex. 3(3-x)Ex. (y-7)(-2)Ex. -2m-2

4.  Rewriting numeric expressions: Ex. (3+2)4  You create equivalent expressions when you rewrite. Try another one.  Ex. -5(6-3)  Use it to simplify expressions like: 5(x 2 +x+3) and -4(x 2 -2x+2).

5.  Like terms have the same variable letter with the same exponent.  Are these like terms? 2x and x? What about x 3 and x 2 ?Or x and x 2 ?  If they are like terms, you “operate” the coefficients and keep the variable and exponent the same.  Try this: 3x+4x+x  Ex. x+y+2yEx. y-2y+3 Ex. 3y+4x-2xy

6.  Sort of like a stand up shower. The “dirty” negatives get washed away but the clean positives stay clean.  Evaluate, (find the answer to) the items on the inside using PEMDAS.  Then, like an operation, take the absolute value of that number.  If there are more calculations on the outside of the abs symbols, then do them AFTER you take the abs!!

7. 1. ∣90∣= 2. ∣-7.4∣= 3. ∣35/47∣=(fraction)  This is what a SIMPLIFIED absolute value should look like. Two bars with ONE number inside.

8. Evaluate if a=4, b =, c=, x=14, y=2.4, z= -3 1. 41-16-∣z ∣ 2. ∣3a +2∣-15 3. ∣2x+4 ∣-6 4. 2.5 - ∣3.8 - y∣ 5. (b- ) + ∣ ∣

9.  Pg. 30 #20-26 even. Show use of distributive property and simplify if needed.  Pg. 71 #46-56 even. Write this in your notebook. I need to initial it BEFORE you leave.
