It looks like you've uploaded a math worksheet titled
"Algebra 1: The DISTRIBUTIVE Property", and it contains problems related to simplifying expressions using the
distributive property. However, I currently cannot view or access images directly.
To help you, please
type out the problems from the image, or describe them clearly (e.g., list the expressions you need to simplify). For example:
> Problem 1: \( 3(x + 4) \)
> Problem 2: \( -2(5y - 3) \)
Once you provide the actual problems, I can solve them step by step and explain how the distributive property applies.
In the meantime, here’s a quick refresher:
---
🔷 Distributive Property Rule:
For any numbers \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):
\[
a(b + c) = ab + ac
\]
or
\[
a(b - c) = ab - ac
\]
This means you multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.
---
✔ Example:
Simplify: \( 4(x + 3) \)
Step-by-step:
\[
4(x + 3) = 4 \cdot x + 4 \cdot 3 = 4x + 12
\]

Please share the specific problems from your worksheet, and I’ll solve them for you!
