4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 46 Page 226

Recall the Distributive Property.

2 34* z+3/10

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 34 to the terms inside the parentheses.
3/4(z+2/5)+2z
3/4(z)+3/4(2/5)+2z
3/4z+3* 2/4* 5+2z
3/4z+6/20+2z
3/4z+2z+6/20
(3/4+2)z+6/20
2 34* z+6/20
2 34* z+6Ă· 2/20Ă· 2
2 34* z+3/10
Since 2 34* z and 310 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
