Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TRUE

This is because when you distribute 1 thing between 2 (or more) things, it (in a way) simplifies the problem...


For Example:

solve for x

f(x) = 5*(x - 4)


The only way to solve a question like this would be to distribute the 5 to the x and to the 4...

So...

The answer is: TRUE
