Question

Which algebraic property could be used to rewrite 4x + 2y as 2y + 4x?

A. Associative Property of Addition
B. Associative Property of Multiplication
C. Commutative Property of Addition
D. Commutative Property of Multiplication

Answer 1

commutative property of addition states that a + b = b + a
so ur answer is C

Answer 2

C. Commutative Property of Addition

Explanation:

If a, b and c are any numbers,

According to,

Associative Property of Addition,

a + ( b + c ) = ( a + b ) + c

Associative Property of Multiplication,

a(bc) = (ab)c

Commutative Property of Addition

a + b = b + a

Commutative Property of Multiplication

ab = ba

Given,

4x + 2y = 2y + 4x

Hence, Commutative Property of Addition is used in the expression.

Option 'C' is correct.
