Answer 2

we need associative property of multiplication which is in the form of
a x ( b x c) = (a x b) x c
where a,b,c are any real numbers

Answer 3

why not B also?

Answer 4

bcs it has to only be one answer i thought it was D

Answer 5

fair nuff

Answer 6

hmm assuming that a = 21, b = 7, c = 3x

21 x (7 x 3x) = (21 x 7) x 3x
but hmm there's gotta be one not in the parenthesis and that's what is throwing me off.

Answer 7

Answer 8

I'm a bit confused... one too many parenthesis going on here.

Answer 19

A
associativve property refers to the changing the order regardless of the parenthesis
A is the only one which puts a number out of the brackets
i'd go A

Answer 20

Answer 21

the notation is throwing me off. oh thank you @Jack1 . yes go with a.
