Step-by-step solution for: Distributive Property Worksheets with Answer Key
To solve the given problems using the distributive property, we will simplify each expression step by step. The distributive property states that \( a(b + c) = ab + ac \). Let's go through each problem:
---
1. Distribute \(-2\) across \((-4x + 5)\):
\[
-2(-4x + 5) = (-2)(-4x) + (-2)(5) = 8x - 10
\]
2. Add \(6x\) to the result:
\[
8x - 10 + 6x = (8x + 6x) - 10 = 14x - 10
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{14x - 10}
\]
---
1. Distribute \(3\) across \((-2x + 3)\):
\[
3(-2x + 3) = 3(-2x) + 3(3) = -6x + 9
\]
2. Add \(7x\) to the result:
\[
7x + (-6x + 9) = 7x - 6x + 9 = x + 9
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{x + 9}
\]
---
1. Distribute \(5\) across \((-3x + 7)\):
\[
5(-3x + 7) = 5(-3x) + 5(7) = -15x + 35
\]
2. Distribute \(5\) across \((x - 1)\):
\[
5(x - 1) = 5(x) + 5(-1) = 5x - 5
\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
(-15x + 35) + (5x - 5) = -15x + 5x + 35 - 5 = -10x + 30
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{-10x + 30}
\]
---
1. Distribute \(-9\) across \((1 - 10x)\):
\[
-9(1 - 10x) = -9(1) + (-9)(-10x) = -9 + 90x
\]
2. Distribute \(-2\) across \((3x + 9)\):
\[
-2(3x + 9) = -2(3x) + (-2)(9) = -6x - 18
\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
(-9 + 90x) + (-6x - 18) = -9 - 18 + 90x - 6x = -27 + 84x
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{84x - 27}
\]
---
1. Distribute \(4\) across \((2m + 3)\):
\[
4(2m + 3) = 4(2m) + 4(3) = 8m + 12
\]
2. Add \(6m + 5\) to the result:
\[
(8m + 12) + 6m + 5 = 8m + 6m + 12 + 5 = 14m + 17
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{14m + 17}
\]
---
1. Simplify the term \(-(y + 5y)\):
\[
-(y + 5y) = -y - 5y = -6y
\]
2. Combine all terms:
\[
6y - 6y + 3y = (6y - 6y) + 3y = 0 + 3y = 3y
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{3y}
\]
---
1. Distribute \(-8\) across \((-2 - 5x)\):
\[
-8(-2 - 5x) = -8(-2) + (-8)(-5x) = 16 + 40x

\[
7 + (16 + 40x) = 7 + 16 + 40x = 23 + 40x
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{40x + 23}
\]
---
1. Distribute \(-9x\) across \((-9 + 6x)\):
\[
-9x(-9 + 6x) = -9x(-9) + (-9x)(6x) = 81x - 54x^2
\]
2. Distribute \(-5x\) across \((7 + 4x)\):
\[
-5x(7 + 4x) = -5x(7) + (-5x)(4x) = -35x - 20x^2
\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
(81x - 54x^2) + (-35x - 20x^2) = 81x - 35x - 54x^2 - 20x^2 = 46x - 74x^2
\]
Answer:

\[
-p + (30 + 35p) = -p + 35p + 30 = 34p + 30
\]
Answer:
\[
\boxed{34p + 30}
\]
---
