An example of where you HAVE to use the distributive law is:
x(x + 3) = x^2 + 6 Distribute x across (x+3) to get
x^2 + 3x = x^2 + 6
Subtract x^2 from both sides and then
3x = 6
so x = 2.
Use the distributive law only if you have to.

You don't need the distributive law to solve:
3(x+2) = -9
Just divide both sides by 3 to get
x + 2 = -3
Now subtract 2 from both sides and you get
x= -5
You're doing unnecessary calculations using the distributive law.

Great stuff
Hope to see more

Good job, obviously your understanding of mathematics goes beyond that of basic rhetoric. But in my experiences tutoring, and criticism from every professor I've come across, talk a bit slower/more clearly. (In response to the first gentleman)

For whatever reason that you decided to put this up, I appreciated it. It makes understanding math easy by using visuals.
