Multiplying and Simplifying Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to multiply two binomials using a simple method. It begins with an introduction to binomials, explaining that each bracket contains two terms. The teacher demonstrates the multiplication process by ensuring each term in one bracket is multiplied by each term in the other bracket. The tutorial covers two examples, showing the multiplication of each binomial step-by-step and combining like terms to simplify the expression.
