Today and Tomorrow: lesson 10-1 What are we learning: How to simplify algebraic expressions (pop quiz: what’s the difference between an equation and an expression?) using the Distributive Property (Can you remember this from way back when?). How will we learn the material: Listen and watch the powerpoint, do the your turn problems, ask questions, do the homework. USE THE HOMEWORK TONIGHT AND THE SGI workbook to help you learn the material. How will we know we have learned the material: When we can correctly simplify algebraic exressions and use vocabulary words correctly How will I use this information: In our high school algebra class next year. This is prerequisite knowledge for high school.

Distributive Property What does distribute mean? Example is 2(2+1) = 2(2)+2(1) Distributive property says that if you have a number multiplied by something in parentheses, you can multiply everything in that parentheses by that number. a(b+c) = a(b)+a(c) We can use the distributive property to rewrite expression, creating equivalent expressions. Equivalent expressions look different, but are the same value

Example 1-1a Simplify. Answer: Use the Distributive Property to rewrite. We want to write an equivalent expression for 3(x+5). 3x+15 is an equivalent expression to 3(x+5)

Example 1-1b Answer: Use the Distributive Property to rewrite

Example 1-2a Answer: Use the Distributive Property to rewrite Simplify. It doesn’t matter what side of the parentheses the number is on.

Example 1-2b Answer: Use the Distributive Property to rewrite

Example 1-3a Answer: Distributive Property Simplify. Definition of subtraction Use the Distributive Property to rewrite Rewrite IMPORTANT: Remember from chapter 1that when we are subtracting, we change it to addition, and add the additive inverse. We always want the number in front of the variable 9q-27 and (q-3)9 are ___________ ______________.

Example 1-3b Answer: Use the Distributive Property to rewrite

Example 1-4a Answer: Distributive Property Simplify. Rewrite Use the Distributive Property to rewrite REMEMBER: Your rules for multiplying and dividing integers. A neg times a neg = a pos, remember?

Example 1-4b Answer: Use the Distributive Property to rewrite

Parts of an algebraic expression Example 2x+4 Term: The parts of an expression separated by our operation signs. 2x and 4 our are terms Coefficient: The number part of a term with a variable. 2 is our coefficient Variable: x is our variable Constant: A term without a variable. 4 is our constant. Its constant because it doesn’t have a variable that could change.

An algebraic expression labeled 2x is a term 2 is a coefficient X is a variable 3 is a term 3 is a constant 4y is a term 4 is a coefficient y is a variable

Example 1-5a Definition of subtraction Identity Property; Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in Answer: The like terms are The coefficients are The constant is –5.

Example 1-5b Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in Answer: The terms are The like terms are The coefficients are The constant is –2.

END OF DAY 1 Homework: vocabulary sheet and SGI lesson 10-1, numbers 1- 4 only. Read the examples in the SGI.

Review 1.2 expression written differently but with the same ultimate value are ____________ ___________________. 2.The parts of an expression divided by our operations signs are ___________. For example in 2x+3 these are 2x and The number in front of a variable is the _________________. For example in 2x+3, this is 2. 4.___________ ____________ have the same variable. 5.A term without a variable is a _________________. 6.An algebraic expression is in _________________ __________________ if there are no terms in parentheses.

DAY 2! Remember how we used the distributive property yesterday and distributived out what was outside of the parentheses. Today we will sorta do the opposite of that. Today we will be simplifying expressions. This means we will be using the distributive property to combine like terms (terms with the same variable) to produce expressions in simplest form.

Example 1-6a Distributive Property Identity Property; Answer: Simplify. 6n and n are like terms. Simplify 6n – n. Before we were distributing, now we are pulling out, much like when we were factoring out (jimmy neutroning), we are pulling out what is common for each term. Each term has a n in common

Example 1-6b Answer: Simplify 7n  n.

Example 1-7a Answer: Distributive Property Commutative Property Simplify 5s  3 – 12s. are like terms.

Example 1-7b Answer: Simplify 6s  2 – 10s.

Example 1-8a Commutative Property Definition of subtraction Distributive Property Answer: –3 Simplify. Simplify 8z  z – 5 – 9z  2. are like terms. –5 and 2 are also like terms. One thing I like to do is change all my subtractions to plus a negative number.

Example 1-8b Answer: –z Simplify 6z  z – 2 – 8z  2.

Example 1-9a THEATER Tickets for the school play cost $5 for adults and $3 for children. A family has the same number of adults as children. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the total amount of money spent on tickets. If x represents the number of adult tickets, then x also represents the number of children tickets. To find the total amount spent, multiply the cost of each ticket by the number of tickets purchased. Then add the expressions.

Example 1-9a Answer: The expression $8x represents the total amount of money spent on tickets, where x is the number of adults or children. Distributive Property Simplify.

Example 1-9b MUSEUM Tickets for the museum cost $10 for adults and $7.50 for children. A group of people have the same number of adults as children. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the total amount of money spent on tickets to the museum. Answer: $17.50x
