• You’ve harassed a dozen people to say only 53+514

      Nope! I’ve said a(b+c)=(ab+ac) is correct.

      to the point you think 2(3+5)2 isn’t 2*82

      You mean I know that, because it disobeys The Distributive Law 🙄 The expression you’re looking for is 2x(3+5)², which is indeed not subject to Distribution, since the 2 is not next to the brackets.

      If you’d stuck to one dogmatic answer

      Instead I’ve stuck to one actual law of Maths, a(b+c)=(ab+ac).

      But you’ve concisely proven

      The Distributive Law, including c=0 🙄 Not sure why you would think c=0 is somehow an exception from a law

      the harassment is the point

      No, the rules of Maths is the point

      when you can’t do algebra right

      Says person who thinks c=0 is somehow an exception that isn’t allowed,🙄but can’t cite any textbook which says that

        Dude you’re not even hitting the right reply buttons anymore. Is that what you do when you’re drunk? It’d explain leading with ‘nope! I’ve said exactly what you accused me of.’

        You keep pretending distribution is different from multiplication:

        The context is Maths, you have to obey the rules of Maths. a(b+c)=(ab+ac), 5(8-5)=(5x8-5x5).

        That’s not Multiplication, it’s Distribution, a(b+c)=(ab+ac), a(b)=(axb).

        And then posting images that explicitly say the contents of the brackets should be multiplied. Or that they can be simplified first. I am not playing dueling-sources with you, because your own sources call bullshit on what you keep hassling strangers about.

        • Dude you’re not even hitting the right reply buttons anymore

          Yes I am

          Is that what you do when you’re drunk?

          Is that why you think I’m hitting the wrong buttons?

          It’d explain leading with ‘nope! I’ve said exactly what you accused me of.’

          I have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe stop drinking

          You keep pretending distribution is different from multiplication

          No pretending - is is different - it’s why you get different answers to 8/2(1+3) (Distribution) and 8/2x(1+3) (Multiplication) 😂

          B 8/2(1+3)=8/(2+6)=8/8

          E

          DM 8/8=1

          AS

          B 8/2x(1+3)=8/2x4

          E

          DM 8/2x4=4x4=16

          AS

          That’s not Multiplication, it’s Distribution, a(b+c)=(ab+ac), a(b)=(axb).

          That’s right.

          And then posting images that explicitly say the contents of the brackets should be multiplied

          The “contents OF THE BRACKETS”, done in the BRACKETS step , not the MULTIPLICATION step - there you go quoting proof that I’m correct! 😂

          Or that they can be simplified first.

          That’s right, you can simplify then DISTRIBUTE, both part of the BRACKETS step, and your point is?

          B 8/2(1+3)=8/2(4)=8/(2x4)=8/8

          E

          DM 8/8=1 <== same answer

          AS

          I am not playing dueling-sources with you

          No, because you haven’t got any 😂

          your own sources call bullshit on what you keep hassling strangers about

          says person failing to give a single example of that EVER happenning 😂

          I’ll take that as an admission of being wrong then. Thanks for playing

            This is your own source - and it says, juxtaposition is just multiplication. It doesn’t mean E=mc2 is E=(mc)2.

            Throwing other numbers on there is like arguing 1+2 is different from 2+1 because 8/1+2 is different from 8/2+1.

            • This is your own source - and it says, juxtaposition is just multiplication

              inside brackets. Don’t leave out the inside brackets that they have specifically said you must use - “Parentheses must be introduced”! 🤣 BTW, this is a 19th Century textbook, from before they started calling them PRODUCTS 🙄

              E=mc2 is E=(mc)2

              No, it means E=mc² is E=mcc=(mxcxc)

              Throwing other numbers on there

              I have no idea what you’re talking about 🙄

                Because BRACKETS - ab=(axb) BY DEFINITION

                “Parentheses must be introduced”!

                But you understand E=mc2 does not mean E=(mxc)2.

                This is you acknowledging that distribution and juxtaposition are only multiplication - and only precede other multiplication.

                In your chosen Introduction To Algebra, Chrystal 1817, on page 80 (page 100 of the PDF you used), under Exercises XII, question 24 reads (x+1)(x-1)+2(x+2)(x+3)=3(x+1)2. The answer on page 433 of the PDF reads -2. If 3(x+1)2 worked the way you pretend it does, that would mean 3=9.

                  I already answered, and I have no idea what your point is.

                  This is you acknowledging that distribution and juxtaposition are only multiplication

                  Nope. It’s me acknowledging they are both BRACKETS 🙄

                  E=mcc=(mxcxc) <== BRACKETS

                  a(b+c)=(ab+ac) <== BRACKETS

                  and only precede

                  everything 😂

                    Then why doesn’t the juxtaposition of mc precede the square?

                    In your chosen book is the example you’re pestering moriquende for, and you can’t say shit about it.

                    Another: Keys To Algebra 1-4’s answer booklet, page 19, upper right: “book 2, page 9” expands 6(ab)3 to 6(ab)(ab)(ab), and immediately after that, expands (6ab)3 to (6ab)(6ab)(6ab). The bullshit you made up says they should be equal.
