4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 5 Page 29

When distributing, which terms inside the parentheses must be multiplied by the outside term?

Expression: 5(g) - 5(9)
Simplified Expression: 5g - 45

Practice makes perfect

Using the Distributive Property, we can multiply each term inside the parentheses by 5.

(g - 9) 5
5(g) - 5(9)

Now that we have rewritten the expression, we can simplify.

5(g) - 5(9)
5g - 45

The expression 5(g) - 5(9) simplifies to 5g - 45.
