PDFs found online

Nope! If you looked more carefully you'll find some of them are photo's and scans. You also seem to be forgetting that every modern textbook comes with a PDF as well πŸ™„

From which you are ignoring counterexamples using a(b+c)n. Fraud

says the actual fraud who keeps ignoring that there is no exponent in a(b+c) πŸ˜‚

Go ahead and tell me how you would explain what 3(x+y) means without referring to Multiplication?

Your own spammed screenshots say 3 gets multiplied

So in other words, you weren't able to. Also, it doesn't say that - well done on missing the point for a third time in a row πŸ˜‚

There is no special case

So you think 2(3x4x5)=(2x3x2x4x2x5) is totally fine? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

You made it up

Weird then that it's in Maths textbooks isn't it, that 2(3x4x5) is in fact only equal to 2(60)? πŸ˜‚

does it just mean 8?

says person showing they don't know the difference in meaning between "means" and "equals" πŸ˜‚

so 2(8+0)2 is the same as 2(8)2

Yep.

The latter is the next step in simplifying the former

Yep.

You’ve admitted simplifying first is valid

Yep.

when your nose was rubbed in your own found PDFs doing exactly that

Nope! When you finally discovered that they were both valid, even though only a couple of textbooks I posted specifically said to Distribute first. We in fact teach students to simplify before Distributing - less working out, less mistakes with signs.

You don’t have an opinion

That's right, just facts, as per Maths textbooks πŸ˜‚

You make no claim, anymore

a(b+c)=(ab+ac), same thing I've been saying the whole time

All you have left are derision and emojis

and facts

You’ve admitted 2(8*1)2 means 2(8)(8)

Nope! Never said anything of the sort, liar. I have said the whole time that Multiplication is a special case, to which you claimed there was no special case.

insist that’s different from 2(8)2 because…

No Multiplication. It's not complicated πŸ™„

You cannot explain it even now

I already did. Not my fault you don't understand the difference between Addition and Multiplication πŸ˜‚
