I think I know what you’re missing - perhaps intentionally 🙄 - in a(b+c), c can be equal to 0. It can be any number, not just positive and negative, leaving us with a(b)=(axb), which is also what I’ve been saying all along (not sure how you missed it, other than to deliberately ignore it)

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🙄

  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.’

    Yes I am

    Is that why you think I’m hitting the wrong buttons?

    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) 😂
    
    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?
    
    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=mc^2^ 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.
