Question

Use the commutative or associative property to simplify the expression. -(1)/(9)(13x)

Answer 1

The given expression is:

-(1)/(9)(13x)

We can use the commutative property of multiplication to rearrange the order of the factors:

-(1)/(13x)(9)

Now, we can use the associative property of multiplication to group the factors in any way we want:

-(1/13)(1/x)(1/9)

This is the simplified expression using the commutative and associative properties of multiplication.
