Question

Name the property illustrated by each question.

5x · (4y + 3x) = 5x · (3x + 4y)

Answer 1

Addition property of equality

Answer 2

The property used here is:

Commutative property of addition

Explanation:

Commutative property of addition states that if a and b are any two elements

then, a + b = b + a

We are given a equality we have to determine the property used here

5x · (4y + 3x) = 5x · (3x + 4y)

In the above equation, 4y + 3x = 3x + 4y

a= 4y and b= 3x

Then, a+b=b+a

Hence, the property used above is:

Commutative property of addition
