    The first textbook only gets 5(17) by not doing what the second textbook says to do with 5(3+14).

    First image says ‘always simplify inside,’ and shows that.

    Second image says ‘everything inside must be multiplied,’ and shows that.

    You’re such an incompetent troll that you proved yourself wrong within the same post.

    • The first textbook only gets 5(17) by not doing what the second textbook says to do with 5(3+14)

      Because the first textbook is illustrating do brackets from the inside out, which the second textbook isn’t doing (it only has one set of brackets, not nested brackets like the first one). They even tell you that right before the example. They still are both Distributing. You’re also ignoring that they actually wrote 5[3+(14)], so they are resolving the inner brackets first, exactly as they said they were doing. 🙄 The 5 is outside the outermost brackets, and so they Distribute when they reach the outermost brackets. This is so not complicated - I don’t know why you struggle with it so much 🙄

      First image says ‘always simplify inside,’ and shows that

      And then says to Distribute, and shows that 🙄 “A number next to anything in brackets means the contents of the brackets should be multiplied”.

      Second image says ‘everything inside must be multiplied,’ and shows that

      Yep, that’s right, same as I’ve been telling you the whole time 😂

      You’re such an incompetent troll that you proved yourself wrong within the same post

      Ah, no, you did, again - you even just quoted that the second one also says to Distribute! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 😂 I’ll remember that you just called yourself an incompetent troll going forward. 😂

        • 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.

              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.

        You’ve harassed a dozen people to say only 5*3+5*14 is correct, to the point you think 2(3+5)2 isn’t 2*82.

        If you’d stuck to one dogmatic answer you could pretend it’s a pet peeve. But you’ve concisely proven you don’t give a shit - the harassment is the point. Quote, posture, emoji, repeat, when you can’t do algebra right.
