· Learning objectives are at the beginning of = the section. You are responsible = for objective 3.

· As you read the material, stop and try the REQUIRED EXAMPLES.

· There are “check y= ourself” problems after each REQUIRED EXAMPLE. The REQUIRED “CHECK YOURSELF” problems must be included = in your notebook. Answers to the “check yourself” problems are on the= last page of the section just before the practice exercises.

· Practice problems must be included in your notebook. Answers to notebook practice problems are at the end of the section exercises.

The problem 3(2 + 4) can be worked in two ways:

&= nbsp; Using order of operation. = &nb= sp; Using distributive property

&= nbsp; 3(2 + 4) =3D = ; &n= bsp; = ; &n= bsp; = ; = 3(2 + 4) =3D

Work prob inside 3(6) =3D &n= bsp; = ; &n= bsp; Use distributive 3.2 + 3^.4 =3D

Parentheses &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; property<= /o:p>

= 18 = &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; 6 + 12 =3D

The first method uses R= 20;order of operation” and would be the best method to solve the problem. The second method uses the distrib= utive property. You are to learn ho= w to use the distributive property in this section.= The following problems give better examples of the use of the distributive property.

2(x + 4) &n= bsp; = ; &n= bsp; 3(2x – 6) &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; 5(3x + 2y)

2^.x + 2^{.4        &=
nbsp;           &nbs=
p;             =
3^.2x
– 3^.6   &nb=
sp;            =
            &nb=
sp;    5^.3x
+ 5^.2y}

2x + 8 &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; 6x – 18 &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; 15x + 10y

The quiz for 1.1 will let you practice this type of problem. The quiz is untimed and self-correcting.=
