Exercise 3 Page 170

Simplify the expression 9(y+ 13). Can the simplified expression be written as 3y+3 using properties of operations?

No

Practice makes perfect
We are asked to determine if the two following expressions are equivalent. 3y+3and9(y+1/3) Let's try to simplify the second expression using the Distributive Property.
9(y+1/3)
9 y+9(1/3)
9 y+ 9/3
9y+3
We found that 9(y+ 13) and 9y+3 are equivalent. 9(y+1/3)=9y+3 Notice that the expression 9y+3 is not equivalent to 3y+3 because we cannot turn 9 into 3 using properties of operations. 9y+3 & ≠ 3y+3 &⇕ 9(y+1/3) & ≠ 3y+3 This means that 9(y+ 13) is not equivalent to 3y+3.
Expressions Are They Equivalent?
9(y+1/3)and 3y+3 No
