High-density lipoproteins move cholesterol to tissues including arteries. The greater the level in the blood, the greater the risk for heart disease.

Foods that have all the essential amino acids to support the body are called complete proteins.

What condition would require the use of the Glycemic index, the “Create Your Plate” method, or carb counting?

Two cups of raw leafy greens is equivalent to one cup of vegetables.

Vitamin C can be found in:

Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals and limit the damage free radicals can do to the cells.

Combine like terms to write simplified expressions Use the distributive property/inverse AND combine like terms to write a simplified expression. Problem 1 12 + 7x – (2x + 18)  The simplified expression is Problem 2 14 + 3x – 5(x – 4) The simplified expression is

Allie bought a pack of 24 markers but a number of them were dried out and didn’t work. Write an expression for the number of pens she has that do work. Use “x” to represent the number of dried makers. (Reminder, there are no equal signs in expressions). 

Write a phrase for the algebraic expression (turn the numbers and operations into word statement). Remember, refer to the variable as “a number”. It is also recommend to avoid using “less than” to indicate subtraction. 8 – x

Combining Like Terms Algebra likes simplicity. Why have thing that are alike it more than one place? Like terms mean values that have the exact same variable (x and -3x or -2b and 10b) or no variable (constants like 15 and -18). When combining like terms, remember that terms with different signs must be subtracted from one another then keep the larger sign for the answer. If the terms have the same sign, you must add them together and keep the sign. -12x + 8x = -4x -4y – 6y = -10y Inverse Whenever there is a negative sign in front of parentheses, this means the inverse or “opposite of” what’s inside. If there is a negative number in front of the parentheses, that negative is a part of the distributive process. -(-3x + 7) becomes 3x – 7 -4(m – 4n) becomes -4m + 16n
