In this case the only thing to distribute is the negative sign in front of ( 7 - a ). It is the same as distributing a negative 1, then changing the negative sign in front to a positive sign. Distributing the negative sign allows you to rewrite the left hand side as 6 + ( (-1)*7 - (-1)*a) + 3. The left hand side will then become 6 + ( -7 - ( -a) ) + 3. Also - ( -a) is the same as +a, now the left hand side is 6 + ( -7 + a ) + 3. Removing parentheses gives us 6 - 7 + a + 3 = 10a - 5
What if I have a negative sign with my distributive property for example: 6 - (7- a) +3 = 10a - 5 do I first multiply the 6 and 7, and 6 and (a) and write it as: - 42 - 6a +3 = 10a - 5 ?
😂 I have no choice but to learn this. I believe math basically teaches you that if you can solve this, you can solve any problem in the world. Stop complaining and figure it out, basically.
I want to fucking die it's three in the damn morning and I have a game tomorrow

Oh my gosh...Thank you. I have literally been working on this problem for 3 days and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. :)

One:question
What do we use it for in the future?
When you subtract all the numbers what if you end up with 3 numbers instead of 2
thank you so much! this helped a lot :) subbed!!
