Algebra 8 - you'll want to read this...

There's a great video on Khan Academy that explains the Distributive Property and combining like terms.  Click here to watch it.

Leave a comment below that clearly answers that question.  Remember to click on Name/URL and include your first name, last initial, and math period (example: Jennifer D, period 1).  The deadline is this Wednesday night - I will be posting your responses once the deadline passes.  One extra credit point will be given for responses that include a thorough, accurate explanation.
