Answer 3

The Distributive Property of Multiplication over addition states that instead of simplifying what is in parentheses first, you may choose to multiply each term by the factor outside the parentheses: a (b + c) = ab + ac

Answer 4

It's the same thing for subtraction : a( b - c) = ab - ac

Answer 5

Does that help at all @geny55 ?
