Example Question #2 : Simplifying Expressions
Expand:
To expand, multiply 8x by both terms in the expression (3x + 7).
8x multiplied by 3x is 24x².
8x multiplied by 7 is 56x.
Therefore, 8x(3x + 7) = 24x² + 56x.
Example Question #3 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify:
None of the other answers are correct.
First, distribute –5 through the parentheses by multiplying both terms by –5.
Then, combine the like-termed variables (–5x and –3x).
Example Question #1941 : Algebra Ii
Expand:
First, FOIL:
Simplify:
Distribute the through the parentheses:
Rewrite to make the expression look like one of the answer choices:
Example Question #12 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify the expression.
None of the other answers are correct.
When simplifying polynomials, only combine the variables with like terms.
can be added to
, giving
.
can be subtracted from
to give
.
Combine both of the terms into one expression to find the answer:
Example Question #13 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify the following expression.
This is not a FOIL problem, as we are adding rather than multiplying the terms in parentheses.
Add like terms to solve.
and
have no like terms and cannot be combined with anything.
5 and -5 can be combined however:
This leaves us with .
Example Question #1942 : Algebra Ii
Simplify the following:
None of the other answers are correct.
First, FOIL the two binomials:
Then distribute the through the terms in parentheses:
Combine like terms:
Example Question #1943 : Algebra Ii
Simplify the following expression:
This is not a FOIL problem, as we are adding rather than multiplying the terms in parentheses.
Add like terms together:
has no like terms.
Combine these terms into one expression to find the answer:
Example Question #14 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify the expression.
The expression cannot be simplified further.
When multiplying exponential components, you must add the powers of each term together.
Example Question #15 : Simplifying Expressions
None of the other answers are correct.
When multiplying polynomials, add the powers of each like-termed variable together.
For x: 5 + 2 = 7
For y: 17 + 2 = 19
Therefore the answer is .
Example Question #16 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify the following:
This fraction cannot be simplified.
First we will factor the numerator:
Then factor the denominator:
We can re-write the original fraction with these factors and then cancel an (x-5) term from both parts:
