<span>Use the distributive property to rewrite each algebraic expression: Do not solve, just rewrite.
1) 8(x + 7) = 8x + 56
2) 5(x - 10) = 5x - 50
3) 6(11 + x) = 66 + 6x
</span><span>Factor each expression. (Pull a common factor from each number)
COMPLETED EXAMPLE: 27 + 12 = 3(9 + 4) → (3 is the shared factor for 27 and 12)
4) 12 + 36 = 12 (1 + 3)
5) 16 + 20 = 4 (4 + 5)
Solve each expression using the distributive property.
6) 4 x 82 = 4 (80 + 2) = 320 + 8 = 328
7) 12 x 44 = 12 (40 + 4) = 480 + 48 = 528
</span><span>8) Mrs. S bought 9 folders and 9 notebooks. The cost of each folder was $2.50. Each notebook cost $4. First, write an expression for the problem then find the total cost.
Expression = 9f + 9n = 9($2.50) + 9($4)
Total cost =</span>9($2.50) + 9($4) = $22.5 + $36 = $58.5
With process of elmination the answer is C because all the rest are the same number but placed it is different order.
