Question 1038557
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The associative law of addition only applies to expressions of three or more terms, as in *[tex \Large (a\ +\ b)\ +\ c\ =\ a\ +\ (b\ +\ c)].  Your given expression only has two terms, namely *[tex \Large 7(xz)] and *[tex \Large yt].  Application of the associative law of addition is utterly inappropriate in this case.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
