4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 26 Page 225

Recall the Distributive Property.

4x+4y

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 4 to the terms inside the parentheses.
4(x+y)
4(x)+4(y)
4x+4y
Since 4x and 4y are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
