Answer:
D) associative property
Explanation:
The Associative Property:
of multiplication: (a · b) · c = a · (b · c)
of addition: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
2 · (3 · 4) = (2 · 3) · 4
left side:
L = 2 · 12 = 24
right side
R = 6 · 4 = 24
L = R
A) inverse property: a + (-a) = (-a) + a = 0, a · 1/a = 1/a · a =1
B) distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
C) commutative property: a + b = b + a, a · b = b · a
E) identity property: a + 0 = 0 + a = a, a · 1 = 1 · a = a
