Aiko is finding the sum (4+5i)+(-3+7i). She rewrites the sum as (-3+7)i + (4+5)i. Which statement explains the property of addition that she made an error doing? A. commutative B.Associative C.Identity D.Distributive

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The distributive property of multiplication over addition is: \((4 + 5)i = 4i + 5i\) \((-3 + 7)i = -3i + 7i\) Is this what Aiko got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is not, therefore she did the distributive property wrong, correct?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

yes
