Step 1) Think of two numbers that multiply to -27. One pair of values is -3 and 9
Step 2) Write out -3*9 = -27
Step 3) Replace the 9 with (9). The parenthesis at this point isn't needed but it will be useful for the next step. So we now have -3*(9) = -27
Step 4) Think of a way to add two values to get to 9. One such way is 4+5. So we'll replace the 9 with 4+5 to go from -3*(9) = -27 to -3*(4+5) = -27
After those four steps, we go from -3*9 = -27 to -3*(4+5) = -27
This is one equation, of infinitely many, that has the distributive property and the right side is -27
