Complexity=2, Mode=pos-dist

Distribute. Example: 2(x+1) = 2x+2

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	4(2a - 1) =
Solution Distribute 4 across 2a - 1 => 4(2a) - 4 × 1 4 × 2 = 8 4 × 1 = 4

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	7(a + 2) =
Solution Distribute 7 across a + 2 => 7a + 7 × 2 7 × 2 = 14

Complexity=3, Mode=pos-dist

Distribute. Example: 2(x+1) = 2x+2

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	1(a + b + 2) =

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	3(a - b - 4) =
Solution Distribute 3 across a - b - 4 => 3a - 3b - 3 × 4 3 × 4 = 12

Complexity=3, Mode=pos-factor

Factor out the greatest common factor. Example: 3x + 6 => 3(x+2)

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	27a - 27b - 45 =

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	2a - 2b - 6 =
