Multiplication
An even or odd amount
Product, integers
Positives or negatives
zeros, product is

Chapter 2 - Combining Like Terms and the Distributive Property
Chapter 2 - Combining Like Terms and the Distributive Property
Michael: Hey, Jenny!
Jenny: Hey!
Michael: Wow, long time no see. So how’s it going?
Jenny: Haha! Yeah, I know! Well I’m okay. I’m just having some trouble in math…
Michael: Oh, really? What are you having trouble on?
Jenny: We’re learning how to combine like terms. And, also the distributive property.
Michael: Oh, same here. Although, I’m doing pretty good on it. I’ll be glad to help you.
Jenny: Okay. Thanks, I would really appreciate it.
Michael: Haha, no problem. Okay, I’ll ask you 2 questions. So then, I know everything that you know.
Jenny: Okay. I’m ready.
Michael: Okay, Question #1, n+3-5n+12. What’s the answer?
Jenny: Hmmm… the answer is… -6n+15.
Michael: Umm.. sorry, but that’s incorrect. The correct answer is -4n+15.
Jenny: Huh?! But how?
Michael: Okay, remember you need to regroup all the terms by circling them?
Jenny: Okay… I did that…
Michael: Good, and then what did you do?
Jenny: Ummm… I did -5n-n, and then got -4n.
Michael: Okay… there. That’s you mistake. You made the n negative.
Jenny: Ohh.. I get it. Oops.
Michael: Haha. Okay, I’ll ask you the next question. But this one is about the distributive property.
Jenny: Okay.
Michael: 2+4(3n+8). What’s the answer, Jenny?
Jenny: Okay… I’m pretty sure that the answer is 12n+10. Is it correct?
Michael: …uhh… sorry, that’s also incorrect. The correct answer is 12n+34.
Jenny: Aww… well, what did I do wrong this time?
Michael: Well, instead of multiplying 4 by 8, you added 2 and 8. So, basically, you keep forgeting some steps. But just remember, practice makes perfect.
Jenny: Okay, thanks Michael.
Michael: No problem, Jenn. Well, I’ve gotta run.
Jenny: Okay then, see you later.
Michael: Bye.
I apoligize, for not having an xtranormal movie. Honestly, I did finish, but then it had troubles loading.
