The Distributive Property 2

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This video is great preparation for order of operations and linear equations. There are two videos on the distributive property of multiplication. The first one showed why distribution works. This one shows the process in a clear and understandable way. Sal uses colors to represent each step, completes the problem using the distributive property, and then shows that his answer is the same whether he completed the subtraction in the parenthesis or not.
