Simplify Expressions using Distributive Property and Combine Like Terms

 

 

Objective: I know how to simplify expressions using distributive property and combining like terms.

 

Distributive property allows you to simplify an expression that has parenthesis (or brackets). Multiply the value outside the parenthesis with each of the terms within the parenthesis. We can then combine the like terms.

 

Read the lesson on Simplifying Expressions if you need to learn how to simplify expressions using the distributive property and combine like terms.

Use distributive property and combining like terms to simplify the expressions.
(Do NOT include spaces in your answer)


2(6x+2) + 4(6x+9) =

7(8x+8) - 9(3x+7) =

7(2x-1) - 5(8x+1) =

5(6x+4) - 4(3x-8) =

4(6x-2) - 7(6x-9) =

-2(7x-5) + 4(9x-1) =

-3(6x+9) - 2(6x+1) =

-8(4x+2) - 9(7x-1) =

9(2x-6) - 4(5x-8) =

-3(7x-4) - 4(5x-9) =

 

 

 

 

We hope that the free math worksheets have been helpful. We encourage parents and teachers to select the topics according to the needs of the child. For more difficult questions, the child may be encouraged to work out the problem on a piece of paper before entering the solution. We hope that the kids will also love the fun stuff and puzzles.
