Google implied multiplication.

Do you write 2x or do you write 2 • x?

That's implied multiplication, if x= (a+b) then 2x becomes 2(a+b). Implied multiplication

    There's no such thing. It's a Term/Product. Google is a prime source of Maths disinformation (yes, they have been told it's wrong, repeatedly, so it's disinformation).

    Do you write 2x or do you write 2 • x?

    2a=(2xa) by definition, and 5(8-5)=(5x8-5x5).

    That’s implied multiplication

    No, that's a Term/Product.

    Implied multiplication

    In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication,

    I mean, I don't like to argue about this, since I am not a native English speaker, but there is an implied multiplication there.

    In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication,

    or Factoristion, ab+ac=a(b+c) <== a Product of a and (b+c)

    I mean, I don’t like to argue about this

    And yet here you are arguing with someone who is and is a Maths teacher

    there is an implied multiplication there.

    Nope! It's a Term/Product. There's no such thing as "implied multiplication" - you won't find it in any Maths textbook
