    The Distributive Property: Skill Steps/Examples

    Uploaded by

    Mr. Peterson
    The document discusses three skills - the distributive property, factoring polynomials, and geometry and distribution. The distributive property section explains how to distribute terms to simplify expressions by eliminating parentheses and combining like terms. The factoring polynomials section describes how to think of factoring as the reverse of distributing and simplify expressions by dividing the largest integer. The geometry and distribution section provides an example of using distribution to solve for the measure of each side of an equilateral triangle given its perimeter.

    Steps/Examples
    The
    Distributive
    Property
    To distribute for simplifying:
    1. Use the Distributive Property to eliminate the
    parentheses
    2. Simplify the expression by combining like
    terms
    1. 4(3n + 8) 6n 2. -3(2a 5) + 2(4a 7)

    Factoring
    Polynomials
    To factor polynomial expressions:
    1. Think to yourself: how would this look if
    it were distribution
    2. Simplify the expression by dividing the
    largest integer possible
    1. 18b 24 2. 12x + 9y + 6z

    Geometry and
    Distribution
    Solve for the perimeter of the equilateral Solve for the measure of each side of the
    triangle. equilateral triangle with a perimeter of
    27x + 18
    3(2x + 5)
