1. 7(x + 4) 2. 2(b – 3) 3. -4(y + 3)
Distributive
Property 4. -5(m – 2) 5. -(y – 9) 6. 8(4 – b)
Recall: 7. -4(-w – 10) 8. 5(2m – 3) 9. -3(2x – 4)
a(b + c ) =
10. 3(m + n) 11. x(y + 4) 12. d(c – 4)
or a(b − c ) =
13. 6a(b + 2c) 14. 2(x – y + 8) 15. x(2y – 5z + 1)

Distribute To simplify an expression means to ensure there are
no parentheses and no like terms. In order to do this, distribute
AND Combine! first (if needed),then combine like terms.
