4. The Distributive Property
Sign In
Recall the Distributive Property.
x/4+3
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 14 to the terms inside the parentheses.
Distribute 1/4
a/c* b = a* b/c
Identity Property of Multiplication
Calculate quotient
Commutative Property of Addition
Add terms
Since x4 and 3 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
