hmm.. what is the operation that is being performed inside of the parentheses?

Answer 3

(x*4)

Answer 4

=4x

Answer 5

yes and what is that called?

B! Multiplication

Answer 7

right, I'm aware that the x*4 equates to 4x. But I'm asking you, what operation is being performed?

Answer 8

Yes! :)

Answer 9

correct

Answer 10

A

Answer 11

sorry, yes you are correct

Answer 12

Hint: This has something to do with groupings

Answer 13

i though it is 5th statement not 3rd lol sorry

Answer 14

So A is correct..?

Answer 15

I don't believe so. There is no adding happening in this step

Answer 16

@Jamierox4ev3r where you saw adding?
she answered A not D.
4*11 is multiplication

Answer 17

(4*11) * m +m

Answer 18

Is what it says..

Answer 19

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 I never said adding...lol

Answer 20

woopers

Answer 21

Guys..I'm so confused! Is it A.. or not.

Answer 22

it is not A, unfortunately

Answer 23

But @AlexandervonHumboldt2 said it was. 0-0

Answer 24

If you look at the question, there is nothing being multiplied at this step. There is only a change in where the parentheses lie

Answer 25

Okay, so it's not A, or D, Is it B? ;-;

Answer 26

Distributive property is when you multiply inside the parentheses.

Answer 27

.-. I'm sorry, So it is C, Associative?

Answer 28

However, nothing is being multiplied here. All the values are staying the same, but I will reiterate: the groupings, or the "associations" have changed. Big hint there.

And yes :)

Answer 29

C?

Answer 30

Associate property is always a pretty tough one to get. I hope it makes sense to you now

Answer 31

okay, for this one, you see that the values have moved. 10 and 6y have switched places.

Answer 32

the way I like to remember this is that the values have "commuted." Think of a commute, in terms of movement.

Therefore, yes, it is C. Well done!

Answer 33

Awesome! one more to go!!

Answer 34

I have no clue

Answer 35

I'm assuming you are more familiar with the multiplication/addition rules, so we can use our knowledge of those to help break this problem down

Answer 36

Okay.

Answer 37

2. ... =5x+27
3. ... =32x

What is happening at the ends of steps 2 and 3?

Answer 38

Addition?

Answer 39

Correct

Answer 40

typo jami:
it should be 5x+27x , not 5x+27 you cannot add 5x+27

Answer 41

So this narrows our answers down to B or C.

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 you're right, thank you. I was just trying to get a basic point across. @Ms-Brains hope I didn't confuse you

Answer 42

I'm good, Thanks for helping everybody

Answer 43

@Ms-Brains

recall what I told you about both the associative property and the commutative property. The associative property is when the groupings are changed, but the numbers/variables stay in their same locations.
The commutative property is when the numbers move around
^^
So based on this, what is the answer?

Answer 44

C?

Answer 45

That is correct

Answer 46

Good work!

Answer 47

This one was incorrect. ;-; But thank you all so much!! You helped me so much. cx

Answer 48

Shouldn't have been incorrect...hmm. But you are most welcome :)
