Answer 1

Which expression is equal to (6x + 4y) · 5 using the commutative property?

We'll commute the multiplication,

(6x + 4y) · 5 = 5 (6x + 4y)

Answer: A

Answer 2

The answer to your question is the letter A) 5 (6x + 4y)

Explanation:

Data

(6x + 4y)(5)

There are two Commutative properties, one for addition and one for multiplication. In this problem we need to work with the Commutative property of multiplication.

This property tells us that is does not matter the order in which we multiply the numbers the result will be the same.

Then,

(6x + 4y)(5) = (5)(6x + 4y)
