4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 5 Page 223

Recall the Distributive Property.

8+2z

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property to factor out z from the variable terms.
8+3z-z
8+3z-1z
8+(3-1)z
8+2z
Since 8 and 2z are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
