4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 41 Page 226

Recall the Distributive Property.

4n-3

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