Description: Distributive law for the multiplication operation of a ring (left-distributivity). (Contributed by Steve Rodriguez, 9-Sep-2007)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses ringdi.b
|- B = ( Base ` R )
ringdi.p
|- .+ = ( +g ` R )

|- .x. = ( .r ` R )
Assertion ringdi
|- ( ( R e. Ring /\ ( X e. B /\ Y e. B /\ Z e. B ) ) -> ( X .x. ( Y .+ Z ) ) = ( ( X .x. Y ) .+ ( X .x. Z ) ) )
