4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 29 Page 225

Recall the Distributive Property.

n+2+3m

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 12 to the terms inside the parentheses.
1/2(2n+4+6m)
1/2(2n)+1/2(4)+1/2(6m)
1* 2n/2+1* 4/2+1* 6m/2
2n/2+4/2+6m/2
n+2+3m
Since n, 2, and 3m are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
