Which property states that you can change the grouping when adding/multiplying and STILL get the same answer?

• commutative property

• associative property

• distributive property

True or False? Associative property can be used when subtracting/dividing

• True

• False

Determine which equation shows associative property.

• (a + b) + c = a + (b+ c)

• abc = cab

• a(b+c) = ab + ac

• (a+b) + c = (b+a) + c

Answer explanation

To simplify the expression, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2(3x) + 2(4) + x = 6x + 8 + x = 7x + 8. Therefore, the correct choice is 7x + 8.
