Mastering the Distributive Property: Expanding and Factoring Expressions

In this video, you'll learn how to apply the distributive property to expand and factor expressions, both with addition and subtraction. We start by reviewing the distributive property, then work through examples of simplifying expressions such as 8(2 + 5k) and 4(2 + 6m). We also cover factoring expressions by finding the greatest common factor (GCF), including examples like 8b - 18 and 40p - 30q - 25. Watch to see step-by-step methods that make these concepts easy to understand and apply.
