 This video will talk about the distributive property. The distributive looks like this, A times a quantity like B plus C. You've got an addition or subtraction and a quantity and a number outside being multiplied. When you distribute it, you want to distribute that A to everything inside the parentheses. So you're going to take the A times the B and then plus the A times the C. So let's try. We want to take five times X and get five X and then we want to take five times negative nine and have plus five times negative nine. That's the way to think about it. So in that case, you get five X and then five times negative nine is a negative forty five. So you have five X minus forty five. So again, negative three times X is negative three X plus negative three times eight. That's the way to think about it. So negative three X is just negative three X. But when we do the order of operations, we have plus a negative twenty four or negative three X minus twenty four. Okay. Let me show you. I keep saying, well, that's the way you think about it. So you can also think about this as negative three X, but then you can think of this as just multiply negative three times eight and that will give you negative twenty four. Okay. So that's another way to look at it. So let's try this next one then. We're thinking negative two times four X plus negative two times negative one. And if we would do the work, then negative two times four X would be negative eight times X and negative two times negative one. Remember negative times negative is a positive, so it would be two and we would be done at that point. Again you can think of it as negative two. You could just go ahead and do the work. Negative two times four X is eight X, negative, and negative two times negative one would be a positive two. So you can distribute and do the do these steps in your head if you want. All right. One more example, negative times negative six X. So it's a negative times negative six X. I'm going to write it all out here. Plus a negative times seven Y plus a negative times negative four. A negative times a negative then becomes a positive six X and then plus a negative times a positive would be negative seven Y and then plus a negative times a negative here. Negative times negative four would be a positive four. So rewriting it would be six X minus seven Y plus four. Actually either one of these is okay. But this is the general way that you're going to see it written. Then you could have said negative six X times negative one would be positive six X, negative times a positive seven Y would be minus seven Y, and negative times a negative four would be a positive four either way.
