Solving an Equation using Distributive Property
This lesson teaches how to solve an equation for x using distributive property twice. By multiplying every number outside the parentheses to every term inside, we can combine like terms to get one x. After doing this, we can add or subtract on both sides and divide to find the final answer.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
