Name _____________________________ The Distributive Property
Wrong!
–2(3x – 4) + 9x = –2(3x – 4) + 9x =
–2(3x) – 2(4) + 9x = –2(3x) – –2(4) + 9x =
–6x –8 + 9x = –6x +8 + 9x =
(–6x + 9x) – 8 = –15x – 8 (–6x + 9x) + 8 = 3x + 8
Right!

Quick Review
1. Use the distributive property to rewrite x(3x – 5) = x(3x) – x(5) = 3x2 – 5x
expressions without parentheses.
2. Like terms in an expression are terms that 2x + 2 – 9x = –7x + 2
have the same variable to the same power. –5 + 6x – 4 = –9 + 6x
In these examples, each set of like terms is
boxed. Add or subtract to combine like terms. –8x + 4x 2 + x 2 + 1 = 5x 2 – 8x + 1

Use the distributive property to rewrite each expression without parentheses.

Then combine like terms.

2x 2 + 7x – 2 – x 2 – 3x + 4 = 2x 2 + 7x – 2 – x 2 + 3x – 4 =

(2 + 7 – 2 – 1 – 3 + 4)x (2 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 2x 2 + 7x – 2 – x 2 + 3x – 4 =
7x 6 (2x 2 – x 2) + (7x + 3x) + (–2 – 4) =
Right! x 2 + 10x – 6

Quick Review
1. The variables and powers must be exactly alike to add or subtract like terms.
You may want to outline the like terms with the same shape to keep them straight.
2. Remember to change all signs in an expression when subtracting it from another.
3. When adding or subtracting terms with exponents, combine
only the coefficients. The exponents stay the same.

Add or subtract, then use the code to find the name of a British mathe-
matician. Some consider her the first computer programmer because
she described the possibilities of Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine.

9 – –2 = 11 Right! 7 + –4 = 3

Quick Review
1. Use PEMDAS or the phrase Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally to
remember the order of operations: Parentheses (and other grouping
symbols), Exponents, Multiplication and Division (in order from left
to right), then Addition and Subtraction (in order from left to right).
2. If there is more than one set of grouping symbols, such as
parentheses and brackets, begin with the innermost group and work outward.
3. A fraction bar is a grouping symbol. a+b = (a + b) ÷ (b – c)
It indicates division. b–c

Quick Review
1. Use the distributive property to rewrite expressions without parentheses.
2. Sometimes there are variables on both sides of an equation. Use opposite
operations to move terms so variables are on one side and constants are on
the other. You must do the same operation to both sides.
3. Combine like terms. Then solve and simplify.

Quick Review
System: –x + y = 1 3x + 2y = –3
1. Solve one of the equations for y.
Step 1: y=x+1
2. Substitute the expression from step 1 for
y in the other equation. Solve for x. Step 2: 3x + 2(x + 1) = –3
3x + 2x + 2 = –3
3. Substitute the value of x from step 2 for x 5x = –5
in the equation from step 1. Solve for y. x = –1
4. Your solution is an ordered pair with the Step 3: y = –1 + 1
x and y values from steps 2 and 3. y=0
Check that solution by substituting those Step 4: (–1, 0)

that are in both monomials and choose the power which is the least amount.

Find the GCF for each pair. Follow your answers in order through the maze.

1. The standard form of a quadratic function is y = ax 2 + bx + c. a –a

2. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. If a is positive,

the graph opens up. If a is negative, the graph opens down.
3. The vertex is the lowest point of a parabola that opens up or the –b
highest point of a parabola that opens down. The x-coordinate of the vertex is 2a .

For each function, find the coordinates of the vertex. Then finish the table of values.
Plot the points and connect them to complete the graph.
