Simplifying Expressions

Read the following instructions in order to complete this assignment and review the of how to complete the math required for this assignment:

• Use the properties of real numbers to simplify the following expressions:
  • 2a(a – 5) + 4(a – 5)
  • 2w – 3 + 3(w – 4) – 5(w – 6)
  • 0.05(0.3m + 35n) – 0.8(-0.09n – 22m)
  • Write a two- to three-page paper that is formatted in APA style and according to the .
    Format your math work as shown in the Instructor Guidance and be
    concise in your reasoning. In the body of your essay, do the following:
    • Demonstrate your solution to the above
      problems, making sure to include all mathematical work. Show every step
      of the process of simplifying and identify which property of real
      numbers was used in each step of your work. Please include your math
      work on the left and the properties used on the right.
    • Explain why the properties of real numbers
      are important to know when working with algebra. In what ways are they
      useful for simplifying algebraic expressions?
    • Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into the text of your paper. Use bold font
      to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for
      the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math
      work):
      • Simplify
      • Like terms
      • Coefficient
      • Distributive
      • Removing parentheses
