1.To make it easier, you can rewrite the 3 to the other side! 3(9-p) 2.To distribute, you just take the term on the outside of the parentheses and multiply it with each term on the outside (seperately) 3 * 9 = 27 3 * -p = -3p 3. This would leave you with the following equation...rewrite it with the letters first. -3p + 27 or 3p - 27 either way works!
