Distributing Monomials and Simplifying Expressions

This video tutorial explains how to distribute a monomial across terms in an expression. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a detailed example of distributing the number 4 across three terms. The tutorial then presents a more complex example involving the distribution of 6P to Q, highlighting the use of the distributive property and the importance of maintaining standard form. The video emphasizes the identification of like terms and the correct application of multiplication rules.
