4. In order to multiply the sum of two numbers
by a third number, we have to multiply each
number in the sum separately and add
using algebra,
(x+y)z=xz+yz, for all numbers x,y,z.
7. To find the product of a sum of two
numbers by another sum of two
numbers, we have to multiply each
number of the first sum by each number
of the second sum and add all these
products together.
