Standard Operating Procedure: Scaling Algebraic Expressions

Suppose you are writing a training guide for a technical team that uses algebraic formulas to scale project costs. When a formula requires multiplying a single-term expression (a monomial) by an expression containing multiple terms (a polynomial), there is a specific standard procedure to follow. Describe this procedure in detail. In your response, identify the specific mathematical property used and explain how that property is applied to each term within the polynomial to ensure the final result is accurate.
