1. To solve algebra equations using the distributive property, we need to distribute (or multiply) the number with each term in the expression. In that way, the brackets are removed. We can then combine like terms and solve by equations when necessary.
2. The first step is simply to apply the distribution using the distributive property : 3(3x-5x)+2=-8 applying the distributive operation we get 9x -15x or we could have simply done 3(2x)+2=-8 which gives us 6x+2=-8 and finally 6x= -8/2= -4
6x=-4 means x= -4/6 thus x= -2/3
3. Multiplication has priority over addition or subtraction thus we have first to apply the distributivity before combining the variable terms
