4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 38 Page 226

Recall the Distributive Property.

6x+3

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property to factor out x from the two variable terms.
x+3+5x
x+5x+3
1x+5x+3
(1+5)x+3
6x+3
Since 6x and 3 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
