Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
This paper explains the distributive property, and uses the property to simplify
algebraic expressions. The distributive property is used to simplify expressions that have
parantheses. A term is multipled with a quantity inside a paranthesis; using the distributive
property, the paranthesis can be removed and simplified. For example, abc(d+e) would simplify
out to abcd + abce. After the distributive property, more simplification processes can be used to
fully simplify the expression.
The following problems are simplified using the distributive
property.
Question 1
– Original expression
– Using distributive property, distributing 2a and 4
– The terms are multiplied
– The terms are simplified
