4. The Distributive Property

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 8 Page 379

Be careful with negatives when distributing.

4x-24y

Practice makes perfect

We are asked to rewrite the given expression using the Distributive Property. To do so, we need to distribute 4 to the terms inside the parentheses.

4(x-6y)

a-b = a+(- b)

4[x+(- 6y)]

Distribute 4

4(x) + 4(- 6y)

a(- b)=- a * b

4(x) + [- 4(6y)]

Multiply

4x+[- 24y]

a+(- b)=a-b

4x-24y
