To show that you can identify implied mul-tiplication, rewrite this algebraic equationusing the times symbol wherever multipli-cation is implied.

In general, if a and b are two numbers,
[tex]\begin{gathered} ab=a*b \\ and \\ a(b)=a*b \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, in our case,
[tex]\begin{gathered} bc=b*c \\ \Rightarrow3(bc)=3*(b*c)=3*b*c \\ and \\ 2d=2*d \end{gathered}[/tex]
