This is still from my previous inquiry. I have two questions this time. First: when do we use the distributive property of multiplication over addition? Why is it wrong to write it as “x+7/3 * 5? Second: When we subtract 5x on both sides, on the right side shouldn’t it be 3x-5x, and not 5x-3x? What are the rules for this? Thanks so much for your help, you’ve been really saving me.?❤️
