Exercise 59 Page 10

When distributing, which terms inside the parentheses must be multiplied by the outside factor?

5/6x+15/4

Practice makes perfect

Using the Distributive Property, we multiply each term inside the parentheses by 56.

5/6(x+1/2+4)

Distribute 5/6

5/6* x+5/6*1/2+5/6*4

Now that we have rewritten the expression, we can simplify.

5/6* x+5/6*1/2+5/6*4

Write as a fraction

5/6* x+5/6*1/2+5/6*4/1

Multiply fractions

5/6* x+5*1/6*2+5*4/6* 1

Multiply

5/6x+5/12+20/6

a/b=a * 2/b * 2

5/6x+5/12+40/12

Add fractions

5/6x+45/12

a/b=.a /3./.b /3.

5/6x+15/4

Since 56x and 154 are not like terms, we cannot simplify further.
