Question

Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 4.

Step 1 (-5) + 5 + 2(12 + 2) = (-5) + 5 + (2 • 12) + (2 • 2)
Step 2 = (-5) + 5 + (24) + (4)
Step 3 = (-5) + 5 + 28
Step 4 = 0 + 28
Step 5 = 28
A.

D.
inverse property of multiplication

Answer 1

C. Commutative property of addition

Explanation:

This property states that the order in which numbers are added does not affect the sum. In this case, the addition of 0 and 28 is equivalent to the addition of 28 and 0.
