the expression 12x + 15x - 11x can be combined because of which property? Commutative Property of Addition Distributive Property Additive Inverse Property Multiplicative Inverse Property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well what do all of them have in common?

OpenStudy (jalilforeal):

The X

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

If I apply the associative property of addition, I get: \((12x+15x)-11x\)

OpenStudy (jalilforeal):

That is not one of the answers that can be chosen

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is associative property, since I'm able to add two quantities at a time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or it can be combine like terms

OpenStudy (jalilforeal):

I am Communicative not associative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because all of them have the like term of x
