Question

Which of the following demonstrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication? (3 points)   2(6a − 3) = (6a − 3) ⋅ 2 2(6a − 3) = 12a − 6 12a − 6 = (6a − 3) ⋅ 2 (2 ⋅ 6a) − 3 = 2(6a − 3)

Answer 1

The other person is correct

Explanation:

Answer 2

2(6a − 3) = (6a − 3)2 satisfy the Commutative Property of multiplication .

Explanation:

Definition of Commutative Property of Multiplication

Let us assume that x and y be any numbers .

x × y = y × x

This is called the Commutative Property of multiplication .

Thus

Let

x = 2

y = 6a − 3

Put in the above property

2 × (6a -3) = (6a - 3)× 2

Thus

2(6a − 3) = (6a − 3) 2

Therefore 2(6a − 3) = (6a − 3)2 satisfy the Commutative Property of multiplication .
