Welcome to Open Study... Do you have any ideas?

maybe the distributive property?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Why would you say that?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Try replacing each number with a letter and see if it looks familiar?

Let $$a=2$$$$b=\sqrt8$$$$c=7$$

$$\Huge a(bc)=(ab)c$$

When you multiply any three real numbers
the grouping (or association) of the numbers does not affect the result.
