4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 17 Page 225

Recall the Distributive Property.

56+7y

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 7 to the terms inside the parentheses.
7(8+y)
7(8)+7y
56+7y
Since 56 and 7y are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
