Line-1 to Line 2- Commutative property of multiplication

Line-2 to Line-3 =Commutative property of addition

Lets solve


\\ \rm\longmapsto (9+x)x


\\ \rm\longmapsto x(9+x)


\\ \rm\longmapsto x(x+9)


\\ \rm\longmapsto x^2+9x

Answer:

Line 1: (9+x)x

Line 2: x(9 + x)

The order of multiplies changed.

This is called a Commutative Property of Multiplication.

  • ab = ba or
  • (9 + x)x = x(9 + x)

Line 3: x(x+9)

The order of added terms within parenthesis changed.

This is called a Commutative Property of Addition.

  • a + b = b + a
  • 9 + x = x + 9
