$(11 y) \cdot 5 = 55 y$ $(11y)*5 = 55y$

$11 y$ $11y$ means $11 \times y$ $11xxy$

$(11 y) \cdot 5$ $(11y)*5$ means $11 \times y \times 5$ $11xxyxx5$

By the commutative property
$= 11 \times 5 \times y$ $=11xx5xxy$

and since $11 \times 5 = 55$ $11xx5 = 55$
$= 55 \times y$ $=55xxy$
or
$55 y$ $55y$
