Question 50839: I am having problems understanding how to simplify equations using the distributive, associative, and commutative properties. Here is an example.
Simplify m3*m4. Say which property you used ina ll of your steps. I also need some advice. I am in honors algebra in 8th grade, and i feel like its really hard and that i don't belong there. I can't switch to a lower level; so i have to deal with this extremely hard class for the entire school year! Any help would be greatly apprciated.
Thank you,
Victoria
