Question

Which of the following properties could be used to rewrite the equation?

Answer 1

Recall that:

1.- The conmutative property states that:

`a*b=b*c.`

2.- The associative property states that:

`a(b*c)=(a*b)*c.`

Therefore, to transform the given equation, first, we use the associative property, and then the commutative property.

Answer: Third option.
