Which equation shows the commutative property? CLEAR SUBMIT (10+5) (30 + 6) = 15 x 36 36 x 15 = 15 X 36 (10 + 30) x (5 + 6) = 15 x 36 36 + 15 = 15 X 36

36\cdot15=15\cdot36

Step-by-step explanation

The commutative property states that the numbers on which we operate can be moved or swapped from their position without making any difference to the answer. The property holds for Addition and Multiplication,hence

Let's check every option

Step 1

a)


\begin{gathered} (10+5)\cdot(30+6)=15\cdot36 \\ \end{gathered}

this does not show the commutative property

b)


\begin{gathered} 36\cdot15=15\cdot36 \\ \end{gathered}

as we can see the factor were moved, and by the commutative property the result is not afected, so


\begin{gathered} \\ 36\cdot15=15\cdot36 \end{gathered}

is the answer.

I hope this helps you
