Answer:

You have written an expression that uses the commutative property of multiplication, which states that the order of the factors does not change the product. That is, a x b = b x a for any numbers a and b.

To simplify your expression, you can multiply the numbers inside the parentheses first, and then multiply by 4. Like this:

4 x (58 x 25) = 4 x (1450) = 5800

4 x (25 x 58) = 4 x (1450) = 5800

(25 x 58) x 4 = (1450) x 4 = 5800

As you can see, the result is the same regardless of the order of the factors. You can also check your answer using a calculator or by using the distributive property of multiplication, which states that a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c for any numbers a, b, and c. Like this:

4 x (58 x 25) = 4 x (58 + 0) x 25 = (4 x 58 + 4 x 0) x 25 = (232 + 0) x 25 = 232 x 25 = 5800
