Question 1154085: Is the problem 8a^+(8a+a^2)+7a=8a^2+(a^2+8a)+7a Commutative, transitive, associative, reflexive, symmetric or multiplicative property of zero and why? The instructions showing examples of these types of problems are of really simple ones. The problems I need to solve makes no sense and looks nothing like the examples.
