The given expression is

3(3 * 7)

The multiplication properties include

1) Commutative property: When two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands.

This means that

3 * 7 = 7 * 3 = 21

3 * 21 = 63

2) associative property.: when 3 or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the grouping of the factors. This means that

3(3*7) = 7(3 * 3) = 3(7 * 3) = 63
