Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 36 Page 381

The Distributive Property states that to multiply a sum or a difference by a number, multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.

6y+12z

Practice makes perfect

We are asked to rewrite the given expression using the Distributive Property. To do so, we need to distribute 3 to the terms inside the parentheses.

3(2y+4z)
3(2y) + 3(4z)
6y+12z
