Question

Ima starting "pre" Algebra and I am having total difficulty. Can anyone help explain how to solve linear expressions, using the Distribute Property?

For Ex. (x-10) + (3x-6) = _______

Answer 1

4x-16

Explanation:

luckily for you, there is no need to distribute a factor in this equation. yay! :)

combine like terms:

(x-10) + (3x-6)

3x + x = 4x

-10+(-6) = -10-6 = -16

hope this helped, and good luck with algebra! :)
