Question

Is 7 x (6 x t) equivalent to (7 x 6) x t

Answer 1

7 x (6 x t)= 7 x 6t= 42t
(7 x 6) x t = 42 x t= 42t
yes they're equivalent

Answer 2

Yes the associative property of multiplication allows this to be true

In other words, you can multiply in different groupings and still get the same result

Example: (2*3)*5 = 6*5 = 30 or 2*(3*5) = 2*15 = 30
