Exercise 36 Page 237

The Distributive Property is used to simplify expressions with parentheses.

9n+15

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the given expression. 5(n+3)+4n To do so, we can use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 5 to the terms inside the parentheses.

5(n+3)+4n

Distribute 5

5(n)+5(3)+4n

Multiply

5n+15+4n

Now, we can combine like terms. 5n+15+4n → 9n+15
