Answer 5

ik what ut means i learned that in 2nd grade all the way to 8th they wont stop saying that

Answer 6

What is important to memorize are examples.

Examples would be using the distributive property for Parenthesis:

3(2+x)
So you would do 3 x 2 and 3(x) to get 6+3x. This simplifies an "abstract" question to a single equation at most.

Exponents also simplifies and expands exponents

Answer 7

So, since you know, just make your own examples.
