Question

Which algebraic property is used to rewrite 2(4y + 1) as (4y + 1)(2)?

Distributive property

Associative property

Commutative property of multiplication

Commutative property of addition

Answer 1

commutative property of multiplication

Answer 2

commutative property of multiplication

Explanation:

2(4y + 1) = (4y + 1)(2)

Distributive property -> Distribute any term inside the parenthesis

Associative property -> change the group of terms

Commutative property of multiplication -> Two or more factors are multiplied in any order

Commutative property of addition -> two or more factors are added in any order.

2(4y + 1) = (4y + 1)(2)

HEre the factors 2 and 4y+1 are multiplied in different order.

So its commutative property of multiplication
