4. The Distributive Property

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 35 Page 381

Be careful with negatives when distributing.

- 12mn + 24mp

Practice makes perfect

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

- 4m(3n-6p)

a-b = a+(- b)

- 4m[3n+(- 6p)]

Distribute - 4m

- 4m(3n) + (- 4m)(- 6p)

MultNegNegTwoPar

(- a)(- b)=a* b

- 4m(3n) + 4m(6p)

Multiply

- 12mn + 24mp
