Question

Identify which property was used to find the equivalent expressions.

ab = ba
5(3x - 2) = 5(3x) -5(2)
:: Commutative Property of Addition
:: Commutative Property of Multiplication
.. Distributive Property
:: Inverse Property of Addition

Answer 1

Explanation:

ab = ba → Commutative Property of Multiplication

5(3x - 2) = 5(3x) - 5(2) → Distributive property

Commutative Property of Addition → a + b = b + a

Inverse Property of Addition → a + (-a) = 0
