Combining Like Terms and Distribution Practice

The video tutorial covers the concepts of distribution and combining like terms in algebra. It begins with an introduction and a simple example, then progresses to more complex problems involving negative numbers, binomials, and multiple variables. The instructor emphasizes changing subtraction to addition of the opposite and demonstrates how to distribute terms and combine like terms effectively.
