Commutative, Associative, Distributive Properties

Using the Associative Property, Reorder this Equation:

12 + ( 5 +6 ) = ?

• 12 + 11

• 5+ 3 + 8

• (12 + 5 ) + 6

• 21

Using the Commutative Property Reorder this equation:

15 x 3 =

• 21

• 3 x 15

• 45

• 15 + 3

Using the Associative Property, Reorder this Equation:

(8 x 9) x 3 = ?

• 21

• 16

• 8 + 9 + 3

• 8 x (9 x 3)

Using the Distributive Property, Distribute:

10 ( 2 + 15) = ?

• 20+25

• 20 + 150

• 25 + 22

• 12 + 25

Using the distributive property, distribute :

7 ( x + 2) = ?

• 7x + 14

• 21+ 2

• 14 + 14x
