Study Notes

  • The distributive property, factoring, and combining like terms can be used to find equivalent expressions.

Equivalent Expressions

  • To find equivalent expressions, use the distributive property, factoring, and combining like terms.
  • Expressions can be rewritten into expanded from by using the distributive property.
  • Expressions of the form a(b+c) can be expanded to ab+ac
  • To determine if expressions are equivalent, substitute given values for the variables and evaluate.

Problems

  • x² + 6x is an expression for which an equivalent expression needs to be found.
  • 4(3n -4) +2 is an expression for which an equivalent expression needs to be found.
  • 4(2x-4) - 2(5x-4) is an expression for which an equivalent expression needs to be found.
  • 5(4a +1) is an expression that should be re-written into expanded form.
  • 4(7x - 4) is an expression that should be re-written into expanded form.
  • -2(3b + 3) is an expression that should be re-written into expanded form.
  • Jimmy wrote the expression 4x+8y and his classmates wrote expressions that they felt were equivalent.
  • Henry: 5y + 2(2x + 3y)
  • Foster: 2(2y) + 2(2y) + 2(2x)
