Real Multiplication Distributes over Addition/Algebraic Proof

Proof
From the definition, the real numbers are the set of all equivalence classes $\left[\!\left[{\left \langle {x_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right]$ of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers.

Let $x = \left[\!\left[{\left \langle {x_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right], y = \left[\!\left[{\left \langle {y_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right], z = \left[\!\left[{\left \langle {z_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right]$, where $\left[\!\left[{\left \langle {x_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right]$, $\left[\!\left[{\left \langle {y_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right]$ and $\left[\!\left[{\left \langle {z_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right]$ are such equivalence classes.

From the definition of real multiplication, $x \times y$ is defined as:
 * $\left[\!\left[{\left \langle {x_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right] \times \left[\!\left[{\left \langle {y_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right] = \left[\!\left[{\left \langle {x_n \times y_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right]$

From the definition of real addition, $x + y$ is defined as:
 * $\left[\!\left[{\left \langle {x_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right] + \left[\!\left[{\left \langle {y_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right] = \left[\!\left[{\left \langle {x_n + y_n} \right \rangle}\right]\!\right]$

Thus:

By Real Addition is Commutative and Real Multiplication is Commutative, it follows that:
 * $\left({y + z}\right) \times x = \left({y \times x}\right) + \left({z \times x}\right)$
