4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 40 Page 226

Recall the Distributive Property.

3d+1

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property to factor out d from the two variable terms.
4d+9-d-8
4d-d+9-8
4d-1d+9-8
(4-1)d+9-8
3d+9-8
3d+1
Since 3d and 1 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
