Is this proof valid?
15.Let $M$ be a $m\times n$ matrix, and $A$ be a $n\times p$ matrix. $(MA){ij}$ is the ith element of jth column of $MA$.
$$
(MA){ij}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}M_{ik}A_{kj}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}M_{ik}\left( \sum_{l=1}^{p}c_{l}A_{kl} \right)=\sum_{l=1}^{p}c_{l}\left( \sum_{k=1}^{n}M_{ik}A_{kl} \right)=\sum_{l=1}^{p}c_{l}(MA)_{il}
$$

I believe one can write this in a better way using the fact that $(MA){*, j}=MA{*, j}$

Is it M times Aij?
if you mean A_{*, j}, then it means the j-th column viewed as a (number of rows)x1 matrix vector
$$
(MA){*j}=MA{*j}=M\sum_{l=1}^{p}c_{l}A_{*l}=\sum_{l=1}^{p}c_{l}MA_{*l}=\sum_{l=1}^{p}c_{l}(MA)_{*l}
$$
