Front

What is the Associative Property?

Back

The Associative Property states that the way numbers are grouped does not change their sum or product. For example, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).

Front

What is the Commutative Property?

Back

The Commutative Property states that the order of numbers does not change their sum or product. For example, a + b = b + a.

Simplify using the Distributive Property: 4(3 + 2)

Back

4 * 3 + 4 * 2 = 12 + 8 = 20

Front

What is the result of 2(c - 8)?

Back

2c - 16

Front

What is the result of 5(a + 6)?

Back
