Distribution
Multiplication is pretty straight forward... 8 * 6 = 48 hooray!
But what if you're in a situation like 4 * (x + 2)...
You need some distribution now, take that 4 and *, put them next to BOTH of the terms in the ()
4 * (x + 2) distributes to...
- 4 * x
- 4 * 2
Add them up, and you're done!
4 * x + 4 * 2
