Algebra Study Guide

These are the learning outcomes for this unit. The list and checkboxes are for your
own use to ensure you are prepared to write the test! The purpose of this study guide
is to practice and aid you in studying!! Best of luck!!

I can apply and use the distributive rule.

I can collect like terms. I can add and subtract monomials.

I can apply substitution to polynomials and solve for an answer.

I can solve 2-step equations using SAMDEB or do/undo method.

I can solve multi-step equations.

Review notes & do practice problems.

Attached to this study guide is A LOT of practice, do the questions that you think
you'd get stumped on. Don't attempt to complete all of it.

 Distributive Property
Use the distributive property to simply each expression.

-2x(3x - 8) 3y(6y - 4)

-9w(6 - w) 3r(5r - 8)

8x(-6 - 5x) -2a(2 - 9a)

-9x(9 + x) -2n(3n + 6)

-8z(8 + 3z) k(3k + 5)

-9r(-5 + 6r) 8q(-2 + 8q)

-2x(2x - 6) -d(-4d - 4)

-8v(-3 - 5v) 2r(-1 + 5r)

-2t(-2 + 6t) -t(7t - 7)

-5z(5 - 3z) -3j(-5 - j)

 Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
Simplify each expression.

1) (5 + 5n 3 ) − (1 − 3n 3 ) 2) (6a − 3a 2 ) + (2a 2 − 3a)

3) ( x 2 − x) + (8 x − 2 x 2 ) 4) (2a 2 + 4a 3 ) − (3a 3 + 8)

5) (5 x 2 + 4) − (5 + 5 x 3 ) 6) (8n 2 − 2n 3 ) + (6n 3 − 8n 2 )

7) (8b 3 + 8) − (6 − 7b 3 ) 8) (4 x 3 − 6) + (5 x 3 + 3)

9) (10 p 4 + 11) − (11 p 4 + 13 + 16 p 2 ) 10) (20v 2 − 9v 3 ) − (7v 3 − 10v 4 − 14v 2 )

11) (10 x 4 − 16) + (12 − 6 x 3 + 11 x 4 ) 12) (14 + 12a 3 ) + (17a 4 + 15 − 5a 3 )
