Question

Name the algebraic property demonstrated in the example below.
(2 + x) + y = 2 + (x + y)

Commutative Property of Addition

Associative Property of Addition

Distributive Property

Transitive Property

Answer 1

im thinking its C

Answer 2

here, the GROUPING changed....

Answer 3

so it's not C....

Answer 4

is it d? since it channges?

Answer 5

no.... transitive property is : if a=b and b=c, then a=c....

Answer 6

uugh im getting stressed, so is it associative?

Answer 7

HINT: grouping deals with how you associate.....

Answer 8

here's a good way to remember these:
commutative property deals with the ORDER of how things are operated on: a+b = b+a
associative property deals with GROUPING things together and getting the same answer:
(a+b)+c = a+(b+c)
