4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 44 Page 226

Recall the Distributive Property.

2.7w-14.04

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 2.7 to the terms inside the parentheses.
2.7(w-5.2)
2.7(w)-2.7(5.2)
2.7w-14.04
Since 2.7w and 14.04 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
