Answer:

The associative property is illustrated by this question ⇒ B

Explanation:

Commutative Property states that you can move numbers around and still arrive at the same answer

For addition, a + b = b + a

For multiplication, a × b = b × a

Associative Property states that you can re-group numbers and you will get the same answer and the commutative property

For addition, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

For multiplication, (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)

Distributive Property states that the sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number

(a + b) × c = a × c + b × c

∵ The question is 0.2 x + 1.3 + 3.9 x + 9.75

- To solve it you will add the like terms so you must group them

∴ 0.2 x + 1.3 + 3.9 x + 9.75 = (0.2 x + 3.9 x) + (1.3 + 9.75)

- This is the associative property because you re-group the numbers
