Understanding the Distributive Property

The video tutorial covers the sixth-grade concept of properties of operations, focusing on the distributive property. It uses a problem from the 2022 released STAR test to demonstrate how to find an equivalent expression. The tutorial explains the distributive property in detail, showing how to distribute multiplication over addition or subtraction. It then applies this property to the given expression and verifies the solution by substituting values. The lesson concludes with a confirmation of the correct answer.
