For this step, we are going to let:

After applying this version of the Distributive Property, we are given the equation:

We're going to use the distributive party again, but a slightly different version that's almost the same as first:

Using this on both terms of the equation changes the equation to:

Now, we just remove the parenthesis and combine like terms

This should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
