4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 21 Page 225

Recall the Distributive Property.

90-54w

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 18 to the terms inside the parentheses.
18(5-3w)
18(5)-18(3w)
18(5)-(18*3)w
90-54w
Since 90 and 54w are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
