Comment on I dunno

That would mean 2(8*1)2 is 128
That’s right,
So when you said 2(8)^2^ is 256, you were wrong.
Otherwise - walk me through how 2(8*1)^2^, 2(8+0)^2^, and 2(8)^2^ aren’t equal, alleged math teacher.
None of them have said a(b+c)=ax(b+c)
“3(x+y) means 3*(x+y).”
means not equals
“It depends on what the definition of is, is,” says someone definitely not trapped in a contradiction.

That’s hilarious that you’re calling textbooks “bullshit” 🤣🤣🤣 BTW there’s nothing preventing you from addressing comments made in a different post to the one you’re replying to, 🙄 and yet, yet again, you didn’t. Did you work out yet why we don’t write (a+b)c? It’s all in the post you’re avoiding.
Nope. 2(8*1)² has a Multiplication inside the Brackets, so The Distributive Law does not apply, 2(8)² doesn’t have Multiplication in it, so The Distributive Law does apply. As I’ve already said repeatedly, if you wanted 2x8², then you could’ve just written 2x8². If you’ve written 2(8) rather then 2x8, then you are saying this is a Product, not a Multiplication.
I already did multiple times. The first one has Multiplication in it, the other two don’t. Multiplication (and Division) is the special case where The Distributive Law does not apply, because you cannot Distribute over Multiplication, only Addition (and Subtraction)
who mysteriously owns dozens of Maths textbooks, many of which quoted in the post you’re avoiding 😂
Yep, doesn’t say equals, exactly as I said 🙄 Congratulations on missing the point a second time in a row. You wanna go for three?
You think “means” and “equals” are the same word?? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣 You know the language has to get dumbed down to Year 7 level, right? And you’re still missing the point, right? 😂 Go ahead and tell me how you would explain what 3(x+y) means without referring to Multiplication? I’ll wait. BTW I’ll point out yet again That the questions on Page 282, answers on Page 577, prove I am the one interpreting this right. Maths teacher understands Maths textbook language better than someone who isn’t a Maths teacher. Who woulda thought?? 😂
Yep, I’m definitely not trapped in a contradiction. 🤣🤣🤣 Look at the questions on Page 282, answers on Page 577, and then ask yourself what you think they meant when they said means, 😂and not equals. There is definitely a specific reason they did not say equals
