thank you anyway

Answer 6

The associative property basically means that no matter what order your variable are arranged to be multiplied, they will give you the same answer.

So say 3 = a
8 = b
and 6 = c

(a*b)*c equals abc
(a*c)*b = acb, or abc
(c*b)*a = cba, or abc

Answer 7

Thanks @AndrewIsHere.
Good explanation.

Answer 8

Same as with 3, 8 and 6

(3*8)*6 = 144

as 3*(8*6) also equal 144
