If you need more help on this topic of the distributive property, please see my own website for my "non-traditional" explanation. Do a "Bing" or "Google" search for my last name "Rapalje". Near the top of the search list, look for "Rapalje Homepage." Near the top of my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Select "Basic Algebra" and look in Chapter 1 for "Section 1.06, Combining Like Terms and the Distributive Property". Other sections here may also be helpful.
