Question

Use Distributive Property to simplify each expression. Easy to Medium problems.

1) 7(1 - 8n)
2) –8(b + 3)
3) -6(9 – 9v)
4)-(3x -9)
5) -9(n+6)
6) -10(a +2)
7) (5k-10).-9
8) -4(4 +3p)

Answer 1

To simplify these algebraic expressions using the Distributive Property, you need to distribute the number outside the parentheses to each term inside and combine like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7(1 - 8n) = 7 - 56n
2. -8(b + 3) = -8b - 24
3. -6(9 – 9v) = -54 + 54v
4. -(3x - 9) = -3x + 9
5. -9(n+6) = -9n - 54
6. -10(a + 2) = -10a - 20
7. (5k - 10) * -9 = -45k + 90
8. -4(4 + 3p) = -16 - 12p
