The document discusses applying the distributive property to algebraic expressions by breaking them down into terms, coefficients, and constants and then combining like terms. It provides examples of distributing multiplication over addition in expressions like 4(y+3), n(n-9), and -2(x+7). It also covers simplifying expressions involving subtraction, multiplication of terms with variables and numbers, and division of real numbers. The homework assigned is to complete odd problems from pages 99-100 and all problems from pages 106-107.
