Question

Check? Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 1.

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

Answer 3

Actually it was associative.

Answer 4

Associative property, because just think about it, if you have (x+y)+z it's the same thing as x+(y+z) because it associates, forming groups.
