Question

Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 2.

Step 1 8 + 12x - 8 - 6x + 3 = 8 + (12x - 8) - 6x + 3
Step 2 = 8 + (-8 + 12x) - 6x + 3
Step 3 = [8 + (-8)] + (12x - 6x) + 3
Step 4 = 0 + (12x - 6x) + 3
Step 5 = (12x - 6x) + 3
Step 6 = (12 - 6)x + 3
Step 7 = 6x + 3

Answer 1

How to get from


8 + (12x - 8) - 6x + 3 TO 8 + (-8 + 12x) - 6x + 3

Answer 2

8 + (12x - 8) - 6x + 3 TO 8 + (-8 + 12x) - 6x + 3

Answer 3

commutative

Answer 4

This is what has changed:

(12x - 8) to (-8 + 12x)

You are correct --> commutative

Answer 5

yayyyy
