EXPLORING THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTYx 2 = –x 2 = x = –x = +1 = –1 =blue red green red yellow redThe Distributive Property combines multiplication with addition or subtraction.Example: 2(x + 3)2(x + 3) = 2x + 6Model each of the following problems to simplify the variable expression.1. 2(x + 4)2. 3(x + 2)3. 2(2x + 1)4. 3(x – 1)5. 4(x – 2)6. 2(3x + 1)7. 2(-x + 1)8. 3(x – 4)9. 5(-2x + 3)10. In your own words explain how the distributive property works or write an algebraicexpression to represent the concept.
