The total of *[tex \Large x] and *[tex \Large 4]:  *[tex \Large x\ +\ 4]


The product of *[tex \Large 7] and &lt;&lt; stuff &gt;&gt; is just *[tex \Large 7] times &lt;&lt; stuff &gt;&gt;.


In this case, the &lt;&lt; stuff &gt;&gt; is *[tex \Large x\ +\ 4], so:



*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 7(x\ +\ 4)]


The parentheses are necessary because you want to make sure you are multiplying the *[tex \Large 7] times all parts of the &lt;&lt; stuff &gt;&gt;.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
