Question

What property does the following expression demonstrate 9(3x)=27(x)

Answer 1

Associative property of multiplication

Explanation:

To show that 9(3x) = 27(x), we need to show that 9(3x) = (9 * 3)x.

The APM does just that. By this property, in multiplication, the order of which numbers are multiplied do not matter.

So, 9(3x) = (9 * 3)x.

And by multiplication, (9 * 3)x = 27x.

So 9(3x) = 27x
