anonymous · Answer

Associative of multiplication is a(b x c)=c(a x b)
Identity of multiplication is a x 1=a
Distributive property is a(b+c)=ab+ac
Commutative of multiplication is a x b=b x a

I hope that helps

@jkbo    @chrffl         A. Associative of Multiplication ﻿is NOT correct.

anonymous · Answer

Would it be commutative then?

directrix · Answer

The Associative Property is the grouping property. Commutative Property has to do with order.

If you look at the problem,    (x · y) · z = (y · x) · z, the grouping of x and y together has not changed. So, the answer is not Association.

The order of the x and y has changed. So, yes, Commutative Property.  @chrffl
