Please start a new topic (thread) with a new problem.

Please show us your work/thoughts - so that we know where to begin to help you.

To start, please tell us the definitions of the properties of multiplication operation (e.g. associative, distributive, etc.)

what ... is the question?

I believe that this exercise requires S Knudson to state the property that justifies writing the second equation from the first.

A search on the string "number operation properties" at Google easily yields this information.
