Question

What property is shown by 5( a + 6 ) = 5(a) + 5(6)?

Which property is shown by 4 + 8 = 8 + 4?

Answer 1

1. Distributive Property

2. Commutative Property of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property anytime there is a number right next to parenthesis, it implies the number outside the parenthesis is to be multiplied to both integer and variable inside the parenthesis. The property also states that the product of a sum or difference, such as 6(5 – 2), is equal to the sum or difference of products, in this case, 6(5) – 6(2).

Commutative Property states that you will get the same answer rather you are adding 2 + 1 or 1 + 2.

Hope this helps you.
