The video tutorial explains the application of the negative sign in expressions using the Distributive Property. It begins by introducing the concept of applying a negative sign to both terms in an expression. The tutorial then describes how subtraction can be viewed as adding the negative of a number. It further demonstrates the Distributive Property by showing how to distribute a negative sign through multiplication. The video generalizes the Distributive Property, explaining its application to variables and terms within parentheses. Finally, it applies the property to simplify expressions, illustrating the process with examples.
