4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 37 Page 226

Recall the Distributive Property.

29+8x

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.
5+8(3+x)
5+8(3)+8(x)
5+24+8x
29+8x
Since 29 and 8x are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
