The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or
more terms inside a set of parentheses. Take a look at the problem below. 2(3+6)
Because the binomial "3 + 6" is in a set of parentheses, when following the Order of Operations, you
must rst nd the answer of 3 + 6, then multiply it by 2. This gives an answer of 18.

How To Do
7x - 10 - 9x = -13
Move the 10 to the the other side which is answer(that makes it a opposite which is plus)
7x - 9x = -13 + 10 = -3
-2x = -3
Now we nd the x which means division
x = -3 / -2 = 1.5
x= 1.5
