Question

according to this property, 5a + a =5a +1a. what is the property?

Answer 1

communative property

Answer 2

Commutative*

Answer 3

that would be the identity property of 1 under multiplication

Answer 4

commutative would say
\[5a+a=a+5a\]

Answer 5

derp

Answer 6

i googled it and got communative

Answer 7

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutative_property

Identity property

not sure what it is but I would say Identity property

Answer 8

Answer 11

thats what i said google doesn't lie :)

Answer 12

google doesn't lie, but it doesn't tell the truth either. it only gives you results based on what you type in

Answer 13

the commutative property of addition says
\[a+b=b+a\] order doesn't matter

Answer 14

for multiplications it says
\[ab=ba\]

Answer 15

if you look at the difference between the expression
\[5a+a\] and \[5a+1a\]the order is the same. the only difference is the introduction of the 1

Answer 16

that is of addition im talking communative property.

Answer 17

If you type in communative property it says oh you must have mis-typed commutative let's show you results for commutative property

Answer 18

communative property doesn't exist mate only commutative

Answer 19

ok i'm causing an augument BYE

Answer 20

so the only question is "why is
\[a=1a\] ?"
and the answer is because
\[1a=a1=a\] that is the identity property of 1 under multiplication

Answer 21

i went with commutative...

Answer 22

well go with what you like, but it is certainly wrong

Answer 23

I would strongly suggest identity
