4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 24 Page 225

Recall the Distributive Property.

40g+24

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 8 to the terms inside the parentheses.
8(5g+5-2)
8(5g)+8(5)-8(2)
40g+40-16
40g+24
Since 40g and 13 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
