Objective • SWBAT simplify expressions using the distributive property
Distributive Property Multiply across Parentheses = 3(2) + 3(4) 3(2 + 4) 3(6) 18 = 6 + 12 = 18 Think of it as looking to DISTRIBUTE something
Section 11.2, “Solving Multi-Step Equations” Multiply across Parentheses a(b + c) = a(b) + a(c) = ab + ac a(b – c) a(b +(-c)) = a(b) + (a)(-c) “Opp-Opp” = ab + (-ac) ab – ac or
Simplify the Expression Multiply across Parentheses 3(x + 7) = 3(x) + 3(7) = 3x + 21 5(y – 4) 5(y +(-4)) = 5(y) + (5)(-4) “Opp-Opp” = 5y + (-20) 5y – 20 or
The Distributive PropertyOrder doesn’t matter… DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY- (b + c)a = ba + ca (b - c)a = ba + (-ca)
Simplify the Expression Multiply across Parentheses (x + 4) 2 = 2(x) + 2(4) = 2x + 8 -7(5 – 2r) -7(5 +(-2r)) = -7(5) + (-7)(-2r) “Opp-Opp” = -35 + 14r
Simplify the Expression Multiply across Parentheses Place a ‘1’ in front of the parentheses when you have a subtraction sign. – (4 – 3r) -1(4 +(-3r)) 1 = -1(4) + (-1)(-3r) “Opp-Opp” = -4 + 3r
3(x + 8) -2(a + b) (8 – x)(-9) – (x + 2y - 4z) A). 3(x) + 3(8) 3x + 24 Simplify the Expression B). -2(a) + (-2)(b) -2a + (-2b) or -2a – 2b C). (8)(-9) + (-1x)(-9) -72 + 9x D). -1(x) + (-1)(2y) + (-1)(-4z) -1x + (-2y) + 4z (-1)(x + 2y - 4z)
Find the Area of the Figures 8 – 12w 8 – 3y 9 12 Area = length x width Area = (½)bh Area = (9)(8 – 12w) Area = (½)(12)(8 – 3y) Area = 72 – 108w units² Area = 6(8 – 3y) Area = 48 – 18y units²
