  Distribution is “effectively” multiplication

  No it isn’t, it’s Brackets. a(b+c)=(ab+ac) <== Brackets Now solve (ab+ac), or do you think that (8-5) is subtraction and not brackets? 😂 It’s actually the reverse process to Factorising, whereas Multiplication is the reverse operation to Division - not even remotely the same thing.

  othing you say, nothing you point to, could possibly change that,

  because they will always get the same answer

  No they don’t! 😂 That’s why it’s a Law

  1/a(b+c)=1/(ab+ac)

  1/ax(b+c)=(b+c)/a

  Oops! (b+c) went from being in the denominator to being in the numerator, leading to WRONG ANSWER 😂 Welcome to why we have The Distributive Law

  if getting the right answer is all that makes two things the same

  No it isn’t, but that’s the first thing which has to happen. See previous point where they aren’t even the same answer, therefore one of them is wrong

  shut the fuck up

    How did I let you rope me into honestly trying to get through to you? I called all of this from a mile off, you did exactly what I said while insisting you weren’t, and I’m still left desperately hoping some combination of words will work. It doesn’t matter what I write here; you’re just going to quote every sentence, respond “tExTbOoK!”, and pick a sneering emoji.

    I never should’ve edited what the first reply said in full:

    Fuck off.

      Gaslighters can’t gaslight Maths teachers about Maths. You should know that by now

      I called all of this from a mile off

      That you were going to ignore Maths textbooks? I called that too 😂

      you did exactly what I said

      Nope. You never said I was going to prove you wrong

      while insisting you weren’t

      I’ve been doing the same thing I always do - proving you wrong with Maths textbooks 😂

      respond “tExTbOoK!”

      The question is, why do you refuse to look in any

      I never should’ve edited what the first reply said in full:

      You never should’ve commented at all gaslighter

      Fuck off.
