D.P. with Addition3(x + 2) = Use the Distributive Property:3(x) + 3(2)=Now multiple:3x + 6This your answer

Practice2(x + 5)=

2(5 + x)=

x(2 +5)=

Answers2(x + 5)= 2x + 10

2(5 + x)= 10 + 2x

x(2 +5)= 2x + 10

D.P. with SubtractionExample:Apply the Distributive Property 3(1 –y)=Multiply, and keep the subtraction sign3(1) – 3(y)Your answer3 – 3y

Practice2(x –5) =

3(5 –x) =

(x –5)3 =

Answers2(x –5) = 2x -10

3(5 –x) = 15 -3x

(x –5)3 = 3x -15
