Practice makes perfect

We are asked to evaluate the given expression using the Distributive Property. To do so, we need to distribute - 3 to the terms inside the parentheses.

(5-7)(- 3)

a-b = a+(- b)

[5+(- 7)](- 3)

Distribute - 3

5(- 3)+(- 7)(- 3)

a(- b)=- a * b

- 5(3)+(- 7)(- 3)

MultNegNegTwoPar

(- a)(- b)=a* b

- 5(3)+7(3)

Multiply

- 15 + 21
