Question

2 + a + b = a + 2 + b is an example of which algebraic property?
A.) Distributive Property
B.) Associative Property of Addition
C.) Commutative Property of Addition
D.) Symmetric Property

Answer 1

Do you know what all of these properties are?

Answer 2

the truth no!

Answer 3

Okay :) An example of the distributive property is \(\large 2(x+y)=2x+2y\)

Answer 4

So the equation isn't distributive.

Answer 5

The associative property of addition is just where you move around parentheses in an equation, like \(\large (x+y)+z=x+(y+z)\).

Answer 6

There are no parentheses in the equation, so it's not associative.

Answer 7

Symmetric Property?

Answer 8

Commutative is just showing that you can mix up the numbers, like \(\large x+y+z=z+x+y\).

Answer 9

And symmetric shows a reflection as the sum. \(\large x+y+z=z+y+x\)

Answer 10

So what will be your answer?

Answer 11

A

Answer 12

How is the equation distributing the variables amongst each other?

Answer 13

C.) Commutative Property of Addition

Answer 14

Yes! :)

Answer 15

yay thank you soo muchh !!!(:
