Question

2 + (x + y) = (2 + x) + y is an example of which algebraic property?

Distributive Property
Associative Property of Addition
Commutative Property of Addition
Symmetric Property

Answer 1

your thoughts?

Answer 2

Associative property?

Answer 3

it obviously has to do with addition...

Answer 4

2 + (x + y) = (2 + x) + y
to make this problem look less scary, you can take the ( )'s out

2+x+y=2+x+y

it just basically shows you both are equal.. and it wouldnt matter which u added first

Answer 5

distribute property when you have to multiply bracket by outsider number
like this
commuative is like 3+ 2 =2+ 3
and
symmetric is like 2 + 5 = 7 then 7 = 2+5
and lastly associate is the rule that rfers to grouping like a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
so which one should be

Answer 6

associative it is

Answer 7

yes you are right @kaylamarie081

Answer 8

The "Associative Laws" say: * It doesn't matter how you group the numbers when you add.
so you are right
