Answer 2

well it's not Distributive.

Answer 3

Answer 4

it is the last one because the () are placed differently and we have + signs too.

Yes it is the last one... Good job..!!

Answer 6

Thank you :)

Answer 7

An operation on 2 numbers a and b is said to be commutative if
\[a*b=b*a\]
where
\[*=+,-,\times,\div\]
Clearly addition and multiplication are commutative operations
\[a+b=b+a\]\[a \times b = b \times a\]
Associative is when
\[a*(b*c)=(a*b)*c\]
Again, both addition and multiplication are associative
