Open a textbook
I've been telling you to do that the whole time and you still refuse ๐
Tell them, not me
Tell them you refuse to open a Maths textbook? ๐
addressing the actual point (how those facts fit together)
I did address the actual point - see Maths textbooks
all youโve 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 donโt 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 arenโt even correct
You think Maths textbooks aren't correct?? ๐
Tell them, not me
You're the one commenting without reading Maths textbooks
Take it up with them if you have a problem with them
I see you're not even reading what I said. No wonder you don't know how to do Maths...
Take it up with Berkeley
Says person refusing to look in Maths textbooks ๐
Again, if you have a problem with Wikipedia, take it up with Wikipedia
You've made the mistake of thinking they care. Again, look for Rick Norwood in the Talk sections, an actual Maths professor (bless him for continually trying to get them to correct the mistakes though)
who needs math anyway?
Lots of people
If the president can claim medicine prices will go down 1200%
Did you miss seeing all the people who know Maths ridiculing him?
2+5 is 8
In which you just did Addition before Brackets, and is thus wrong
8-5 is 3
5(8-5) is 15
8ร3
There is no 8x3. 2+5(8-5)=2+15=17
But, but, must downvote things. Need things to downvote! Dooooooooownvooooooote. ๐
youโre just a tutor and not actually a teacher?
Both - see the problem with the logic you use?
Let me know when you decide to consult a textbook about this.
are reacting from their gut
As was the person who wrote the article. Did you not notice the complete lack of Maths textbooks in it?
Yep, that's about The Distributive Property too ๐ Every time Multiplication gets mentioned, you know they're talking about the Property, since the Law has no multiplication in it, but The Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition does
No, the Property does. The Law tells you that you literally must Distribute.
Because The Law says that, hence why it's a Law ๐
says someone who can't even tell the difference between the Property and the Law ๐
Yes it does liar
Not for people who know how to read ๐
