One common error that many students make is based on what they assume.
Since 2(x + y) = 2x + 2y then everything works like this. However, here is a whole list in which this doesn’t work.
It’s not hard to convince yourself that any of these aren’t true. Just pick a couple of numbers and plug them in! For instance,
I hope that you will surly not commit this error!
