Multiplying and Distributing Expressions

This video tutorial explains how to multiply a binomial by a trinomial using the distribution method. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a detailed step-by-step process of distributing each term of the binomial across the trinomial. The tutorial then demonstrates how to combine like terms to simplify the expression, leading to the final solution. The video concludes with a recap of the distribution process and the final answer.
