Can you tell me if i'm right??

Hey Ariana :) Lemme list some basic properties and see if you can match up your problem with the correct one. Associative Property: \(\rm x(yz)=(xy)z\) Distributive Property: \(\rm x(y+z)=xy+xz\) Commutative Property: \(\rm xy=yx\) Transitive Property: \(\rm if~ x=y~and~y=z,~then~x=z\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmmm does our problem look similar to any of those? :d

OpenStudy (iiariana):

Yes

zepdrix (zepdrix):

lol which one :)

OpenStudy (iiariana):

A?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ah yes, good job! \c:/ Think of this in terms of real life. You can `associate` with different groups of people. That's what the brackets do, they group things in different ways. So that property is showing that you can group multiplication in different ways.
