Select the correct reasons for statements 1 and 3 to complete the proof. Prove: 3x + 2 • x • 11 = 25x. 1. 3x + 2 • x • 11 = 3x + 2 • 11 • x 1. ? 2. 3x + 2 • x • 11 = 3x + 22x 2. Multiplication 3. 3x + 2 • x • 11 = 25x 3. ? A. Commutative Property of Addition, Addition B. Commutative Property of Multiplication, Addition C. Associative Property of Multiplication, Addition D. Commutative Property of Multiplication, Multiplication

OpenStudy (noahbred):

becaue its both evan and there adding in this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes... good job!

OpenStudy (danjs):

cant you say communative also, since you swapped 2 numbers a * b * c ---> a * c * b

OpenStudy (noahbred):

hahah

OpenStudy (danjs):

associative dictates which 2 terms to multiply first 2 * x * 11 ---> (2*11) * x

OpenStudy (noahbred):

ohh really so you think its A @danjs

OpenStudy (danjs):

no , B, 2 * x * 11 ----> 2 * 11 * x communative property a* b = b* a --- swapped around the 11 and the x

OpenStudy (noahbred):

ohh umm ok i will do that

OpenStudy (danjs):

associative would be changing the order you multiply the 3 terms together 2*x*11 ----> (2*11)*x

OpenStudy (danjs):

parenthesis first

OpenStudy (danjs):

B. Commutative Property of Multiplication, Addition

OpenStudy (noahbred):

it was wrong :_(
