What is your guess?

OpenStudy (freckles):

you are given 2a+(b+7c) They just want you to use properties like associative property.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

I'd say 2a+2b+7c

OpenStudy (freckles):

(m+n)+z=m+(n+z) by associative property none of the numbers change just the grouping symbols changed location

OpenStudy (freckles):

example 5+(3+2) =(5+3)+2

OpenStudy (freckles):

It doesn't matter if I put some scalars in front (am+bn)+cz=am+(bn+cz)

OpenStudy (freckles):

so take a new guess

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

(2a+1b)+7c?

OpenStudy (freckles):

looks good
