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.

  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 ?

    Yep, that’s right, and removing brackets is the first step in order of operations 😂
    
    Selective reading much?
    
    By you apparently.
    
    “If” means optional
    
    So… you’re telling me that the “B” step in BEDMAS, and the “P” step in PEMDAS, is optional? I don’t have to remove Brackets?? 😂 Better go back to school dude
    
    You are free to solve what’s inside the brackets first, before multiplying it with what’s outside
    
    Yep, but inside the brackets, as per the text you can see in the screenshot 😂
    
    5(8-5)=(5x8-5x5)=(40-25)=15
    
    5(8-5)=5(3)=(5x3)=15 <== Multiplication inside the Brackets, as per The Distributive Law
    
    same answer both ways 😂
    
    the link I posted is literally titled “distributive law”, not property
    
    But has a multiply sign in it, thus proving it is the Property that they are talking about - The Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition to call it by it’s full name
    
    You realize a law can have conditions, right?
    
    You realise it literally must be obeyed, right? The condition that The Distributive Law has, is “A number or letter next to a Bracket”, direct quote from the textbook, hence a(b+c)=(ab+ac), and not ax(b+c) since the a is not next to the bracket in that case
