Question

2 + (a + b) = (2 + a) + b is an example of which algebraic property?

Associative Property of Addition

Commutative Property of Addition

Symmetric Property

@mathslover ?

Answer 1

What is your choice unheard?

Answer 2

I know it isn't Symmetric, but I'm confused on the others.

Answer 3

Hmm, well yes its not symmetric. I have : associative property as -

a + (b+c) = (a+b) + c

This exactly follows : 2 + (a+b) = (2+a) + b

So your answer is associative property.

Answer 4

Thanks!

Answer 5

You're welcome unheard.

Answer 6

distributive property of multiplication
a( x+y) = ax +ay

associative property

(x+y)+1= x+(y+1)

commutative property of addition
x+y=y+x

no idea what hte symmetric property is
