A ( B + C )
Outside has to meet all the inside
A(B) + A(C)
Do not change any operation signs
5 ( B + 3 ) = 5B + 15
4 ( G – 2 ) = 4G - 8

10. Variation on the Distributive Property
(5B + 3V) + (4B + 6V)
If there is an addition sign between the ( ) then you can just eliminate the ( ).
Do not change any operational signs
5B + 3V + 4B + 6V
Then combine (simplify) 9B + 9V

11. Another variation (5H + 2A ) – (3H + A)
If there is a subtraction sign between the ( ) then don’t change anything in the first ( ), BUT change everything inside the second ( ).
5H + 2A - 3H – A then combine (simplify)
