Algebra of bracketed terms multiplied by a different variable

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

Let's multiply the bracketed term, 5 minus 'X', by the variable outside the bracket, 'N'

'N' is multiplied by every term in the brackets that are separated by adding or subtracting. So we have 5 'N' minus 'N' times 'X'

The skill being taught is how to multiply a variable outside a bracket by each term inside a bracket that contains multiple terms connected by addition or subtraction. This involves distributing the outside variable to each inner term.
