What property of real numbers is illustrated by this equation? [equation posted below here, thx] A. Distributive Property B. Associative Property of Multiplication C. Commutative Property of Multiplication D. Associative Property of Addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2(\sqrt{8}\times7)=(2 \sqrt{8})\times7\]

Welcome to Open Study... Do you have any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe the distributive property?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Why would you say that?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Try replacing each number with a letter and see if it looks familiar?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Let $$a=2$$$$b=\sqrt8$$$$c=7$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge a(bc)=(ab)c$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

When you multiply any three real numbers the grouping (or association) of the numbers does not affect the result.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
