Section 2.5 – Apply the Distributive Property
Example # 1
Find the total areas of the two rectangles modeled below.
Area of Rectangle = Length * Width
Area # 1 = Length * Width
Area # 1 = 7 units * x units
Area # 1 = 7x units
Rectangle
#1
7 units
Rectangle 7 units
#2
Area # 2 = Length * Width
Area # 2 = 7 units * 3 units
Area # 2 = 21 units
x units
Total Area of the Rectangles = Area # 1 + Area # 2
Total Area of the Rectangles = 7x units + 21 units
Total Area of the Rectangles = 7x + 21 units
3 units

Section 2.5 – Apply the Distributive Property
Example # 1 (con’t)
Find the area of the rectangle modeled below.
Rectangle
Area of Rectangle = Length * Width
Area of Rectangle = Length * Width
Area of Rectangle = 7 units *( x + 3 ) units
7 units
Area of Rectangle = ((7 * x) + (7 * 3))units
Area of Rectangle = 7x + 21 units
Note:
Total Area of the Rectangles = 7x + 21 units
x + 3 units
Thus; Total Area of the Rectangles = Area of Rectangle
The Distributive Property allows you to find the product of a number with a
sum/difference expression.

Examples
Distributive Property
Given
Distributive
Step
The product of a and (b + c) a(b + c) = ab + ac
4(3+5)
= 4(3) + 4(5)
= 12 + 20 = 32
(b + c)a = ba + ca
(3+5)4
= (3)4 + (5)4
= 12 + 20 = 32
4(x+5)
= 4(x) + 4(5)
= 4x + 20
a(b - c) = ab - ac
6(3-5)
= 6(3) - 6(5)
= 18 - 30 = -12
(b - c)a = ba - ca
(3-5)6
= (3)6 - (5)6
= 18 - 30 = -12
4(x-2)
= 4(x) - 4(2)
= 4x - 8

Section 2.5 – Apply the Distributive Property
Terms – the parts of the expression that are added together
Coefficient – the number part of a term with a variable part
Constant – the number part of expression that does not contain a variable
Like Terms – are terms that have the same variable parts
Example # 3
Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constant terms of the following expression
a) -2x – 8 + 6x + 5
Like Terms: -2x, 6x; -8, +5;
Coefficients: -2, +6
Constant Terms: -8, +5
Coefficients: 3, -8
Constant Terms: 6, -2
Coefficients: -5, 3
Constant Terms: 6, 6
b) 3y + 6 – 8y – 2
Like Terms: 3y, -8y; +6, -2
c) 6 - 5x + 3y + 6
Like Terms: 6, 6;

Example # 3
You are making curtains by alternating strips of solid colored fabric
and patterned fabric. The solid colored fabric costs $0.99 per strip and
the patterned fabric costs $1.25 per strip. You need 7 strips for one
curtain. Find the total cost if you use 3 solid colored strips.

Example # 3 (con’t)
You are making curtains by alternating strips of solid colored fabric and
patterned fabric. The solid colored fabric costs $0.99 per strip and the patterned
fabric costs $1.25 per strip. You need 7 strips for one curtain. Find the total cost
if you use 3 solid colored strips.
Find the Total Cost (C) when the number of colored strips (S) = 3.
Substitute
C = $8.75 - $0.26(3)
Multiply
C = $8.75 - $0.78
Add
C = $7.97
The total cost if you use 3 solid colored fabric strips to make a curtain is $ 7.97.
