Guided Notes-Same Yet Different - Guided Notes

This document provides guided notes on equivalent expressions and properties related to algebraic expressions. It includes examples of simplifying expressions using properties like the distributive, commutative, and associative properties. Students are asked to determine if pairs of expressions are equivalent, expand expressions using the distributive property, and factor expressions by pulling out common factors. The goal is for students to understand how to determine if expressions are equal in value and how to manipulate algebraic expressions using various properties.

5. Properties: There are five properties that we will talk about today:
1. Distributive Property
2. Commutative Property

Yes

or

No

3. Associative Property
4. Connecting Addition and Subtraction
5. Connecting Multiplication and Division
6. Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac and
ab + ac = a(b + c)
For Example: ______________=________________
and
______________=________________
7. Commutative Property: a + b = b + a
For Example: ______________=________________
8. Associative Property: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
For Example:
3x + 5 + 4x + 7 = ________________ = ___________________
9. Connecting Addition and Subtraction: a b = a + (-b)
This property can be applied to rewrite an expression that involves subtraction so that the terms involved
can be rearranged using the commutative and associative properties of addition.
For example:
4x 3 5x + 7 = ________________ = ________________ = _________________
10. Connecting Multiplication and Division:

This property can be combined with the distributive property.


For example:
= _____________________ = ______________________

11. Expanding an Expression:


When you are given an expression and asked to write an __________________ expression that does not
contain ________________________
For example: Expand 4(y + 2) = ______________________
12. Practice Expanding Expressions: Expand the following expressions.
a.

b.

______________

______________

13. Factoring:

Working backwards: the opposite of _____________________ is called factoring.


Factoring: to break a number or expression into numbers or expressions that can be __________________
together to get the original number or expression.
For Example: Earlier we distributed 4(y + 2) in to 4y + 8. To factor 4y + 8 you would pull a ___ out of each
term, resulting in __________________.
14. Practice Factoring: Factor the following expressions.
a. 2x + 6

b. 20 5y

c. 6y 9

d. 8 +12 y

e. xy 7x

f. 3x = 15y
