  Here is math for kids

  Yep, that’s about The Distributive Property too 🙄 Every time Multiplication gets mentioned, you know they’re talking about the Property, since the Law has no multiplication in it, but The Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition does

  Distributive law means you are allowed to distribute

  No, the Property does. The Law tells you that you literally must Distribute.

  not that you must distribute

  Because The Law says that, hence why it’s a Law 🙄

  I’m so sorry for the amount of effort you’re futilely putting into this lmao

  says someone who can’t even tell the difference between the Property and the Law 😂

  Nowhere in all your sources and screenshots is it stated you must distribute

  Yes it does liar

  thus the entire argument breaks down

  Not for people who know how to read 😂

    You must not distribute brother, lay it to rest lmao. It’s optional. Google distributive law and find me one source saying it’s imperative to distribute - there’s none. You can even confirm this is true yourself with simple examples like the ones I’ve mentioned above.

      You must not distribute brother

      Literally a Law of Maths, but go ahead and stay in Denial about it 😂

      It’s optional

      You think the word “must” means it’s optional?? 😂

      Google distributive law and find me one source saying it’s imperative to distribute

      Go through Maths textbooks and find me one which says it isn’t, or alternatively go through dictionaries and find me one that says “must” means “optional” 😂

      there’s none

      He says, when I’ve already posted multiple textbooks which say it is 😂

      You can even confirm this is true yourself with simple examples like the ones I’ve mentioned above

      I’ve confirmed it with Maths textbooks - you know, those things you refuse to look in because you know they prove you are wrong 😂 BTW your “example above” was about The Distributive Property, as I already pointed out to you at the time

        Bro directly after what you underlined it says “if you want to remove the brackets” lol. Selective reading much? “If” means optional. You are free to solve what’s inside the brackets first, before multiplying it with what’s outside.

        Also, the link I posted is literally titled “distributive law”, not property. You realize a law can have conditions, right?

        Quick quiz for you: what’s the result of 2(3+5)² ?
