4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 27 Page 225

Recall the Distributive Property.

25x-25y

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 25 to the terms inside the parentheses.
25(x-y)
25(x)-25(y)
25x-25y
Since 25x and 25y are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
