distributive property of multiplication

Again, you multiplied before you divide.  WRONG.  my "info" still stands.  Cite some legitimate sources that proves me wrong otherwise. You're suppose to evaluate left to right as there are division and multiplication present because they're of the same rank.

Its so disgusting that your a mod. You wont even admit you dont even know how to use the distributive property. Admit you were wrong trying to distribute in this problem.

The answer is UNDEFINED. 

LOL!







At this point, i'm assuming TEAM 2 don't trust google (wolfram, bing, any search giant) or TI calculators anymore because it can't perform simple arithmetic problem(s)?





true or false
a(b+c) can be written as (ab+bc) ?

following this logic. you have to do the a(b+c) first, because its a division symbol. not / which would have made it 48/2 or 24/1 (a fraction)

Agreeing on that; there should be no need to complicate or rearrange the equation as it should be left as is to solve.

You got the easy part right, now the hard part is proving this to KingCrux aka IWriteMyOwnMathLaws

Rather start my calculus homework....

Taylor gang polynomials

but not really, #@%% that %#*$

I understand  you both being on Team 288 but how are you gonna side with someone who doesn't even know the relation of division and fractions.

No you are adding a set of parenthesis where it doesnt need to.

Proper distribution creates 2 seperates terms. either it is ab + bc or (ab) + (bc). Adding the parenthesis around the whole thing implies it is one term and if you were to add it into an equation it will give you different results.

Yes that is correct but in this problem there is 3 terms not 2. The 2 and (9+3) are not one term if that was the case it would HAVE to be indicated by a parenthesis. Juxtaposition onlys shows multiplication not that it is one term.

And this is coming to the guy who said you could distribute and get 2

You clearly dont know how to work with parenthesis.

when its by itself yes, this is true. but saying that a(b+c) = ab + bc then in the OG equation, you would have gotten 48/18 + 6

Exactly which is what you would do if you distribute it correctly. Do you agree with the statement that distribution resolves parenthesis?

The Distributive Property is handy to help you get rid of parentheses.

Obviously you dont distribute in this problem because you can simplify whats in the parenthesis but if you do believe you can (which is wrong) you still wont get the answer 2.

Already schooled him on it but you are either the first or 2nd person outside of me that understands distribution. So for that I give you props.
