Explanation of Solution
Given information:
An expression is given as
Concept used:
Associative Property of multiplication of real numbers:
If three real numbers are multiplied then the result does not depend on the order of multiplication.
Suppose a, b, and c are three real numbers, Associative Property of multiplication says that
Distributive property over addition of real numbers:
Suppose a ,b, and c are three real numbers, Distributive property says that
Product of a number with a sum can be changed to sum of products.
Calculation:
Consider the expression and simplify as shown:
Therefore,
