Question

PLEASE HELP!

Name the algebraic property demonstrated in the example below:
3 • (x • y) = (3 • x) • y

Distributive Property

Transitive Property

Associative Property of Multiplication

Commutative Property of Multiplication

Answer 1

This is meant to indicate that order of multiplication is immaterial. It's the commutative property.

Answer 2

With all respect, these are easy to mix up. The commutative property is defined as the order of the operands dont matter:
\[ x*y = y*x\]

But the associative property is where the order of the operations dont matter:
\[ x+(y+z) = (x+y)+z \]

Answer 3

Thank you for catching that! @kmeis002
