Question

Choose the property illustrated by the following statement.4+ (x + 2) = (4 + x) + 2

Answer 1

One of the properties in mathematics that can be used in addition is the commutative property

According to the commutative property of addition, changing the order of the numbers we are adding, does not change the.

we can observe that

`\begin{gathered} \text{For the left hand side} \\ 4+(x+2)=4+x+2=6+x \end{gathered}`

For the right-hand side

`(4+x)+2=4+x+2=6+x`

We can see that the sides are equal

Thus, the commutative property of addition is used
