D. Associative Property of Multiplication

Answer 2

A. Associative Property of Addition

First, we look at the signs, which are '+'s so we know we're dealing with addition.
Next we need to know what "associative " and "commutative" mean.

commutative is the easiest one to remember. If an operation is commutative, it means that no matter what order the terms of the operation are in, the results will be the same. Multiplication is commutative:
3*4*5=3*5*4=5*3*4 etc
We can move the terms around, the terms can >commute< within the equation

associative means that the grouping of the terms in the operation doesn't matter.
Multiplication is associative: 3*4*5=(3*4)*5=3*(4*5)
Associative is usually the one concerned with "brackets".

So now we look at your equation, and we see indeed that it demonstrates associative properties.

So your answer is A :)

Answer 3

Can you help me with this one. Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions.
