1.   Use the distributive property to rewrite without parentheses.
    A. 24x - 3 B. 24x - 4
    C. D. 24x - 24
    Hint

  2.   Find the difference:
    A. -3x2 + x - 5 B. -3x2 - 7x - 5
    C. 3x2 - 7x - 5 D. -3x2 - 7x + 1
    Hint

  3.   Start with a square with side length. Create a large rectangle by adding two more squares of the same size, and remove a strip with a width of 1. What is the area of the new rectangle?
   
    A. x (3x – 1) = 3x2x B. x (x – 1) = x2x
    C. x (3x + 1) = 3x2 + x D. x (x + 3) = x2 + 3x
    Hint

  4.   Write the expression in factored form.3x2 – 6x
    A. 3x (x – 6) B. 3x (x + 2)
    C. x (x – 6) D. 3x (x – 2)
    Hint

  5.   Use the distributive property to expand the expression.4a (2 + 7a)
    A. 8a + a2 B. 6a + 28a2
    C. 8 + 28a2 D. 8a + 28a2
    Hint
