Exercise 9 Page 723

Be careful with negatives when distributing.

2x+3

Practice makes perfect

We will begin simplifying by distributing the 12 to the terms inside the parentheses.

1/2(4x+6)

Distribute 1/2

1/2* 4x+1/2* 6

MoveRightFacToNumOne

1/b* a = a/b

4/2x+6/2

Calculate quotient

2x+3

Since 2x and 3 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified any further.
