addressing the actual point (how those facts fit together)
I did address the actual point - see Maths textbooks
all you’ve done is confuse yourself
I'm not confused at all. I'm the one who knows the difference between Distribution and Multiplication.
what I was saying
You lied about there being no such thing as "the Distribution step" (Brackets), proven wrong by the textbooks
make arguments that don’t address it.
Textbooks talking about The Distributive Law totally addresses your lie that no such step exists.
Never mind that some of those micro-rebuttals aren’t even correct
You think Maths textbooks aren't correct?? 😂
