Whatever is enclosed in parentheses must be simplified first, or if not, it must interact as a quantity with anything outside.
This means any operation on the quantity in parentheses must be applied to all of its parts. The most
common and important example is called the distributive property. Quoting: hoyletutoring.comAnyone who can read, please enlighten yourself with the above.
