Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Algebra I Distributive Property Worksheet
To solve the given equations, we will go through each one step by step. Let's start with the first equation and proceed systematically.

---

Equation 1: \( 2(x + 5) = 16 \)



1. Distribute the 2 on the left-hand side:
\[
2x + 10 = 16
\]

2. Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
2x = 6
\]

3. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = 3
\]

Solution: \( x = 3 \)

---

Equation 2: \( 3(t + 1) = 18 \)



1. Distribute the 3 on the left-hand side:
\[
3t + 3 = 18
\]

2. Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with \( t \):
\[
3t = 15
\]

3. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
t = 5
\]

Solution: \( t = 5 \)

---

Equation 3: \( 2(3y - 5) = 14 \)



1. Distribute the 2 on the left-hand side:
\[
6y - 10 = 14
\]

2. Add 10 to both sides to isolate the term with \( y \):
\[
6y = 24
\]

3. Divide both sides by 6:
\[
y = 4
\]

Solution: \( y = 4 \)

---

Equation 4: \( 4(3t - 2) = 88 \)



1. Distribute the 4 on the left-hand side:
\[
12t - 8 = 88
\]

2. Add 8 to both sides to isolate the term with \( t \):
\[
12t = 96
\]

3. Divide both sides by 12:
\[
t = 8
\]

Solution: \( t = 8 \)

---

Equation 5: \( 2(3x + 1) = 11 \)



1. Distribute the 2 on the left-hand side:
\[
6x + 2 = 11
\]

2. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
6x = 9
\]

3. Divide both sides by 6:
\[
x = \frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

Solution: \( x = \frac{3}{2} \)

---

Equation 6: \( 6(3k + 5) = 39 \)



1. Distribute the 6 on the left-hand side:
\[
18k + 30 = 39
\]

2. Subtract 30 from both sides to isolate the term with \( k \):
\[
18k = 9
\]

3. Divide both sides by 18:
\[
k = \frac{9}{18} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Solution: \( k = \frac{1}{2} \)

---

Equation 7: \( 9(3x - 5) = 9 \)



1. Distribute the 9 on the left-hand side:
\[
27x - 45 = 9
\]

2. Add 45 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
27x = 54
\]

3. Divide both sides by 27:
\[
x = \frac{54}{27} = 2
\]

Solution: \( x = 2 \)

---

Equation 8: \( 3(t + 7) = 15 \)



1. Distribute the 3 on the left-hand side:
\[
3t + 21 = 15
\]

2. Subtract 21 from both sides to isolate the term with \( t \):
\[
3t = -6
\]

3. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
t = -2
\]

Solution: \( t = -2 \)

---

Equation 9: \( 5y + 4 = 3y + 6 \)



1. Subtract \( 3y \) from both sides to get all \( y \)-terms on one side:
\[
5y - 3y + 4 = 6
\]
\[
2y + 4 = 6
\]

2. Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the term with \( y \):
\[
2y = 2
\]

3. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
y = 1
\]

Solution: \( y = 1 \)

---

Equation 10: \( 5t + 3 = 2t + 15 \)



1. Subtract \( 2t \) from both sides to get all \( t \)-terms on one side:
\[
5t - 2t + 3 = 15
\]
\[
3t + 3 = 15
\]

2. Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with \( t \):
\[
3t = 12
\]

3. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
t = 4
\]

Solution: \( t = 4 \)

---

Equation 11: \( 6k + 5 = 2k + 1 \)



1. Subtract \( 2k \) from both sides to get all \( k \)-terms on one side:
\[
6k - 2k + 5 = 1
\]
\[
4k + 5 = 1
\]

2. Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with \( k \):
\[
4k = -4
\]

3. Divide both sides by 4:
\[
k = -1
\]

Solution: \( k = -1 \)

---

Equation 12: \( 8s - 1 = 6s - 5 \)



1. Subtract \( 6s \) from both sides to get all \( s \)-terms on one side:
\[
8s - 6s - 1 = -5
\]
\[
2s - 1 = -5
\]

2. Add 1 to both sides to isolate the term with \( s \):
\[
2s = -4
\]

3. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
s = -2
\]

Solution: \( s = -2 \)

---

Equation 13: \( 5(x - 2) = 3(x + 4) \)



1. Distribute on both sides:
\[
5x - 10 = 3x + 12
\]

2. Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides to get all \( x \)-terms on one side:
\[
5x - 3x - 10 = 12
\]
\[
2x - 10 = 12
\]

3. Add 10 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
2x = 22
\]

4. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = 11
\]

Solution: \( x = 11 \)

---

Equation 14: \( 3(h - 6) = 2(5 - 2h) \)



1. Distribute on both sides:
\[
3h - 18 = 10 - 4h
\]

2. Add \( 4h \) to both sides to get all \( h \)-terms on one side:
\[
3h + 4h - 18 = 10
\]
\[
7h - 18 = 10
\]

3. Add 18 to both sides to isolate the term with \( h \):
\[
7h = 28
\]

4. Divide both sides by 7:
\[
h = 4
\]

Solution: \( h = 4 \)

---

Equation 15: \( 2(5c + 2) - 2c = 3(2c + 3) + 7 \)



1. Distribute on both sides:
\[
10c + 4 - 2c = 6c + 9 + 7
\]

2. Simplify both sides:
\[
8c + 4 = 6c + 16
\]

3. Subtract \( 6c \) from both sides to get all \( c \)-terms on one side:
\[
8c - 6c + 4 = 16
\]
\[
2c + 4 = 16
\]

4. Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the term with \( c \):
\[
2c = 12
\]

5. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
c = 6
\]

Solution: \( c = 6 \)
