Objective: I know how to solve equations by distributive property.

To solve algebra equations using the distributive property, we need to distribute (or multiply) the number with each term in the expression. In that way, the parenthesis are removed. We can then combine like terms and solve by equivalent equations when necessary.

Look at the lesson on Solving Equations by Distributive Property if you need help before trying out the worksheet.

Use distributive property and combine like terms to solve the equations.

-18 - 6x = 6(1 + 3x)
Answer: x =

5x + 34 = -2(1 – 7x)
Answer: x =

2(4x – 3) – 8 = 4 + 2x
Answer: x =

3x – 5 = -8(6 + 5x)
Answer: x =

-(1 + 7x) – 6(-7 – x) = 36
Answer: x =

-3(4x + 3) + 4(6x + 1) = 43
Answer: x =

2(6 – x) – 3x = 22
Answer: x =

-5(1 – 5x) + 5(-8x –2) = -4x – 8x
Answer: x =

4(2x – 2) + 2(1- x) = 9 + x
Answer: x =

6(1 – 3x) – 2(2x –1) = -18x
Answer: x =
