It’s amazing that you think these are explicit references. Notice how the text never says “you MUST use the distributive law”? It always says some variation of “in order to simplify, you must…”?
No, you don’t notice, because you’re blind, and don’t understand what distributivity actually is.
You also got me confused with someone else trying to explain in short words how you’re wrong, but that won’t be a problem now you demonstrated such abject failure to hold a productive discussion - bye.
