Standard Operating Procedure for Algebraic Simplification

In a manufacturing facility, technicians use specific algebraic formulas to calculate material stress. To ensure all team members produce consistent results, the lead engineer requires a written summary of the standard procedure for simplifying expressions like (4x3)2(2x5)(4x^3)^2(2x^5). Write a brief response that recalls and names the three specific mathematical properties used in the simplification process. Your response must identify the properties in the correct sequential order and briefly describe how each property is applied to the coefficients and exponents.
